The Great Raid on Cabanatuan: Rescuing the Doomed Ghosts of Bataan and
Corregidor

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.
