Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission by Hampton Sides

4.0

I especially enjoy WWII history, and this was a good one! I was familiar with the Bataan Death March, but now I have been immersed in the history that led up to this event, and the horrible details of the Cabanatuan POW Camp. I think war is dreadful, but unfortunately necessary at times. I don't know how a man (or woman) mentally prepares themselves for possible death in battle situations, or for the possibility of torture and mutilation upon capture. I have so much respect for those men and women who have fought for, and suffered for our country.
