To the reader who inherited the Bataan Death March—and wants the men who also knew how to endure hell, slip behind enemy lines, and pull off World War II’s greatest rescue — this is for you. Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission by Hampton Sides National bestseller. Winner of the PEN USA Award for Nonfiction. “The greatest World War II story never told” (Esquire). Sides’s book is not only the story of 513 prisoners. It is the story of the Rangers, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerrillas who marched thirty miles behind Japanese lines to bring them home. Philosophers think; soldiers act. The gift of these men was that they could do both under fire. That, for Sides, is the measure of a mission. The book gives the personal prisoners—starvation, disease, torture, three years in Cabanatuan after the Bataan Death March—and the public raid: the Palawan massacre that forced the decision, the planning by Colonel Henry Mucci and Captain Robert Prince, the thirty-minute firefight, and the long walk to freedom. Drawn from interviews with survivors and the historical record.
