　　On January 28, 1945, 121 hand-selected U.S. troops slipped

behind enemy lines in the Philippines. Their mission: March thirty

rugged miles to rescue 513 POWs languishing in a hellish camp,

among them the last survivors of the infamous Bataan Death March. A

recent prison massacre by Japanese soldiers elsewhere in the

Philippines made the stakes impossibly high and left little time to

plan the complex operation.

In Ghost Soldiers Hampton Sides vividly re-creates this

daring raid, offering a minute-by-minute narration that unfolds

alongside intimate portraits of the prisoners and their lives in

the camp. Sides shows how the POWs banded together to survive,

defying the Japanese authorities even as they endured starvation,

tropical diseases, and torture. Harrowing, poignant, and inspiring,

Ghost Soldiers is the mesmerizing story of a remarkable

mission. It is also a testament to the human spirit, an account of

enormous bravery and self-sacrifice amid the most trying

conditions.

　　When Army Rangers among Douglas MacArthur's forces arrived in

the Philippines, they hatched a daring plan to liberate their

captured comrades, a mission that, if successful, would prove to be

a tremendous morale booster at the front and at home. Led by a

young officer named Henry Mucci (called "Little MacArthur" for his

constant pipe as well as his brilliance as a strategist), a

combined Ranger and Filipino guerrilla force penetrated far behind

enemy lines, attacked Japanese forces guarding Allied prisoners at

a jungle outpost called Cabanatuan, and shepherded hundreds of

prisoners to safety, with an angry Japanese army in hot pursuit.

Amazingly, they suffered only light casualties.
