Ghost Soldiers
''Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission'' (Doubleday, 2001) is a non-fiction book written by Hampton Sides. It is about on the World War II Allied prison camp raid at Cabanatuan in the Philippines.
== Synopsis ==
In late January 1945, 121 Ranger volunteers set out to attempt a rescue of over 513 Allied prisoners of war in a Japanese camp near the Philippine city of Cabanatuan. The prisoners, survivors of the Bataan Death March, had lived in deplorable conditions for three years, suffering from starvation, tropical diseases, and abuse from Japanese soldiers. ''Ghost Soldiers'' recounts the story of the prisoners, the Ranger unit performing the raid, and the Filipino guerrillas who provided assistance. A massacre of American soldiers at Palawan alerted U.S. commanders to the danger of mass POW executions as the Japanese retreated from the Philippines. As a consequence, they planned and executed a mission to rescue the POWs from Cabanatuan prison camp. ''Ghost Soldiers'' provides historical background to the events leading to the raid, detailed accounts of camp conditions and the prisoner's heroic will to survive, and the planning and successful execution of the rescue.
