Reviews
"The daring rescue effort to save hundreds of downed airmen in dangerous enemy territory is an amazing but unknown WWII adventure story. Told in riveting detail for the first time, The Forgotten 500 is a tale of unsung heroes who went above and beyond."-- James Bradley, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys "Gregory A. Freeman has written a riveting account of the greatest escape during World War II. It is a remarkable adventure story of courage and daring that is superbly told."-- Tony Zinni, General, USMC (Ret.) "Gregory A. Freeman's The Forgotten 500 is a literary and journalistic achievement of the highest order, a book that illuminates, thrills, and reminds us that heroes sometimes do live among us. It will take your breath away."-- Gregg Olsen, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Deep Dark: Disaster and Redemption in America's Richest Mining Town "This is an exciting, powerful story of escape and rescue. It has been buried for too long..."-- Tony Koltz, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Battle for Peace "A gripping, true-life narrative of one of the most heroic and inspiring-but virtually unknown-military operations of World War II . . . Freeman chronicles it with a master's touch for detail. Although this book reads like a fast-paced novel, it is based on scores of probing interviews and meticulous archival research. The Forgotten 500 is destined to become required reading for serious students of the Second World War."-- Malcolm McConnell, #1 New York Times Bestselling Coauthor of American Soldier "A breathtaking popular account."-- Booklist, "The daring rescue effort to save hundreds of downed airmen in dangerous enemy territory is an amazing but unknown WWII adventure story.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • The Forgotten 500 by Gregory A. Freeman

    My dad was one of the airmen rescued from Pranjane in 1944 during Operation Halyard so I have known about this rescue my whole life. I always thought it would make a great movie and when I saw that a book had finally been written about it, I couldn't wait to read it. Gregory Freeman did an outstanding job telling the story and described everything the same way that I heard it over 50 years ago from my dad and the other members of his crew. My only regret is that my dad, who passed away in 1996, never had the chance to see "his" story in print.

  • A Must Read

    I have become a close friend to Arthur Jibilian, what a true American hero, Gregory Freeman presents the truth of American betrail towards the Serbian Gorilla War General Draza Mihalovich. Read the truth in this well documented history of America's most secretive, successful, rescue mission with "edge of your seat" details. The Serbian's kept our boy's Alive! God Bless them forever.
