Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * "The greatest World War II story never told" ( Esquire )--an enthralling account of the heroic mission to rescue the last survivors of the Bataan Death March--from the author of Blood and Thunder . On January 28, 1945, 121 hand-selected U.S. troops slipped behind enemy lines in the Philippines. Their mission: March thirty rugged miles to rescue 513 POWs languishing in a hellish camp, among them the last survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March. A recent prison massacre by Japanese soldiers elsewhere in the Philippines made the stakes impossibly high and left little time to plan the complex operation. In Ghost Soldiers Hampton Sides vividly re-creates this daring raid, offering a minute-by-minute narration that unfolds alongside intimate portraits of the prisoners and their lives in the camp. Sides shows how the POWs banded together to survive, defying the Japanese authorities even as they endured starvation, tropical diseases, and torture. Harrowing, poignant, and inspiring, Ghost Soldiers is the mesmerizing story of a remarkable mission. It is also a testament to the human spirit, an account of enormous bravery and self-sacrifice amid the most trying conditions.

  • Ghost Soldiers (The Great Raid) Philippines WWII

    Easy and fascinating reading. Story flows well. It is difficult at times to read of the horrors experienced during war time, caused by enemy, environment, and logistics. It seems a well documented recounting of a very daring rescue as well as the military and political maneuverings of the time. Not to be trite, but it is a "page turner," especially if you had family or friends serving during that era and place. I am not a historian nor a war story enthusiast, but chose this because of the location, an uneasy compromise "colony" of the US. I bought this to increase my understanding of the war fought in the Philippines, the island's history, the culture and its peoples. The history of the United States and the Philippines are intertwined. I began sensing this when I first visited the ...

From the shocking and gasping cruelty to the tear producing kindness unexpected. The reality behind the movie, and how important the Phillipino guerrillas were in accomplishing this mission.
