Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


Very well written account of an incredible rescue of 500 American POWs on Japanese occupied Philippines at the end of World War II. Although this is a true-life history, taken from journals and live interviews it reads like a novel -- fast paced, suspenseful and hard to put down. Highly recommended.
