Title Description
On January 28, 1945, 121 hand-selected troops from the elite U.S. 6th Ranger Battalion slipped behind enemy lines in the Philippines. Their mission: march thirty miles in an attempt to rescue 513 American and British POWs who had spent three years in a hellish camp near the city of Cabanatuan. The prisoners included the last survivors of the Bataan Death March left in the camp, and their extraordinary will to live might soon count for nothing. As the Rangers stealthily moved through enemy-occupied territory, they learned that Cabanatuan had become a major transshipment point for the Japanese retreat, and instead of facing the few dozen prison guards, they could possibly confront as many as 8,000 battle-hardened enemy troops.

This is a great book. Told with riviting events, intimate look at the POWs, emotional stories of the POWs. Puts you there in the thick of it all and tells this harrowing story. I have read the book serval times and worn out my tapes I think it is so good. If you only read one book about WWII in the Pacific this one will give you almost all the information you'll need to understand what the service men faced and how they coped(not to lesson any other servicemen in Pacific battles). Hampton does a wonderful job in bringing this event to full life. Michael Prichard is becoming like an old friend having listened to him many times.
