Before General MacArthur could fulfill his stirring promise of "I shall return" and retake the Philippines from Japanese control, a remarkable rescue mission would have to take place. Captured American soldiers, emaciated and ill from brutal mistreatment, were still being held at the notorious Cabanatuan prison camp. A small band of Army Rangers set out on a daring rescue effort: to penetrate thirty miles into Japanese-controlled territory, storm the camp, and escape with the POWs, carrying them if necessary.

Breuer recounts in searing, meticulous detail the full story of this thrilling true-life adventure and inspiring testament to American heroism and grit.

Critic reviews

"An exciting narrative presented by a first-rate storyteller." (Publishers Weekly)
"The book's great virtue is that it allows a number of the rapidly diminishing band of survivors of the whole experience to have their say." (Booklist)

Easy to follow and context is good. I only ding the narrator because he reads the story to happily. His upbeat voice and speed makes the story and some quotes appear humorous when they are not.

Great story. I only ding the narration

This is a true story of honor and courage, of those that laid everything on the altar of sacrifice for the freedom of our children and our children’s children.

Great story! the only thing I didn't like about it was that it went off on tangents a lot as to the history of the Philippines during the war. so on and so forth instead of sticking to the story. but other than that it was a great story

good listening
