"The Great Raid on Cabanatuan"
by William B. Breuer
"This book describes events related to the fall of Bataan,
the Death March and the camps. The main focus is
to explain how preparations were made and carried
out by the 6th Rangers, the Alamo Scouts
(and others) to rescue the 511 POWs
remaining at Cabanatuan on
January 30, 1945."
The Publisher says,
"Author of 20 WWII-related books, Breuer presents a gripping account of America's efforts
to free the captives of Cabanatuan, the Philippine prison camp where thousands of
American POWs were tortured and died.
Vividly details the American underground and
guerrilla operations during Japan's occupation of the Philippines. Based on the author's
interviews with the men who survived the raid, the book intermingles oral history with
dramatic narrative. Includes 16 pages of previously unpublished photographs."
