The Heroic WWII Saga of America's Most Daring POW Rescue.
Here is the original true story, also the basis of the bestselling 'Ghost Soldiers', revealing how the US Rangers daringly smashed into the Japanese prisoner of war camp at Cabanatuan to liberate the American troops captured at Bataan and Corregidor.
Central Luzon, 1945. General MacArthur's Army of Liberation slices across the Philippines to strike at Manila and cut off the Japanese Imperial Army's retreat to the north.
But 25 miles behind enemy lines, outnumbered by a force six times its own strength, an elite team of US Rangers, Filipino guerrillas, and Alamo Scouts is about to penetrate the heart of the Japanese prisoner of war camp at Cabanatuan. Their mission: rescue the American POWs left to die after the infamous Bataan Death March - and get out alive.
