Description
Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides is a powerful and riveting account of one of World War II’s most daring and heroic rescue missions. The story takes readers back to 1945, when American prisoners of war—who had endured the horrors of the Bataan Death March and months of brutal captivity—were freed from the Cabanatuan prison camp in the Philippines. This dramatic mission was led by Lt. Colonel Henry A. Mucci and the 6th Ranger Battalion, who trekked thirty miles through enemy territory, risking everything to save over 500 prisoners who had been left behind.
Through vivid storytelling, Sides brings to life the courage, desperation, and resilience of both the prisoners and their rescuers. The narrative weaves together the brutality of the Bataan Death March, the extreme conditions the prisoners faced, and the meticulous planning of the rescue operation. The book also explores the personal stories of the soldiers, offering a human perspective on the broader historical events.
Ghost Soldiers is a story of unthinkable hardship and extraordinary bravery, blending personal accounts and military history with deep emotional resonance. With endorsements from renowned authors like James Bradley and Jon Krakauer, it has earned its place as a must-read in the genre of war literature.
This is an essential read for history enthusiasts, military buffs, or anyone interested in stories of survival and heroism during World War II.
