Rescue at Los Banos Large Print

- The Most Daring Prison Camp Raid of World War II

Om Rescue at Los Banos Large Print

Rescue at Los Baños is the spellbinding survival story of more than two thousand American and Allied civilian prisoners of war?men, women, and children?held in the Philippines by the Japanese during World War II, and the elite 11th Airborne Division's heart-pounding mission in a race against the clock to rescue them from behind enemy lines As U.S. victory in the Pacific drew near, Japanese soldiers at the Los Baños Internment Camp became increasingly sadistic and began systematically starving, beating, and killing their captives. Fearing the loss of more innocent lives, General Douglas MacArthur gave the 11th Airborne Division the dangerous mission of freeing these beleaguered men, women, and children in a deadly race against the clock. Rescue at Los Baños deftly weaves together dramatic accounts of the prison camp with detailed analysis of the complex military operation being planned and carried out, documenting the incredible story of the prisoners and those who risked their lives to save them.
