Synopsis
'A first-class historian' - Wall Street Journal Available in paperback for the first time, this is the full story of the mission that inspired Hampton Side's recent mega best-seller, Ghost Soldiers, told in searing, meticulous detail. One night in 1945, a band of Americans and Filipinos raided a notorious Japanese prison camp and, facing overwhelming odds, rescued 511 sick and dying American prisoners and led them safely through thirty miles of jungle. Based on interviews with survivors, this is a thrilling true-life adventure story of heroism and grit., On the night of January 30, 1945, a scrappy band of American Rangers and Filipino Scouts raided a notorious Japanese prison camp known as Cabanatuan to liberate incarcerated American soldiers. Facing overwhelming odds, these gallant men vowed to rescue 511 POWs -- and escort the sick and dying prisoners through thirty miles of jungle crowded with Japanese, to safety. They did it -- and they made history. This is their incredible story.Author William B. Breuer recounts in searing, meticulous detail -- based largely on interviews with survivors -- the hellish battles of Bataan and Corregidor; the horrors of the Bataan Death March, and the harrowing efforts of guerrilla fighters. He also features the gripping stories of women who helped the cause, such as Margaret Utinsky of "Miss U's underground" and Claire Phillips, glamorous lounge singer-turned-spy. The result is a thrilling, true-life adventure story and an inspiring testament to American heroism and true grit., Provides an in-depth account of the fall of the Philippines during World War II to the Japanese, the harsh treatment of American and Filipino POWs, and the 1945 raid by a band of American Rangers and Filipino Scouts on a Japanese POW camp to liberated incarcerated American soldiers. Reprint.
