Book Review of Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission

Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission


Absolutely one of the best books I've read about the Bataan death march and the POW camp rescue. The brutality to our men was , of course, horrific, but I thought this book was a lot more realistic as to our essential desertion of them by Roosevelt and MacArthur. And how they train the Rangers was particularly enlightening. Tho we often hear baboutthe physical rigors of the training, it is the brainwashing that made it more understandable to me.
