|  | Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides, James Naughton
In this history of a World War II rescue operation, the mission of a group of elite U.S. Rangers sent to free several hundred prisoners of war held by the Japanese is complicated by the fact that their target is also a shipping point for Japanese soldiers--and holds thousands of enemy soldiers. Sides tells the story of the prisoners, survivors of the Bataan Death March, and the heroes who risked all to bring them out. AUTHOR: Hampton Sides, James Naughton
