Learn the story of one of World War II's most masterfully executed
raids. On the southwest shore of Laguna de Bay, near a village of
the same name, stood the Los Banos Internment Camp. Held within
were over 2,000 starving men, women, and children, guarded by 250
Japanese soldiers, and surrounded by several thousand more in the
nearby countryside.
As the desparate battle for Manila raged, it was feared that the
prisoners would be executed or moved beyond the reach of the
liberating armies. Only 130 Paratroopers could be spared for the
rescue operation and this stunning triumph of courage and perfect
timing in the face of overwhelming odds is rendered with riveting
detail in this new Raid title. Author Gordon Rottman offers a
bird's-eye-view from the origins of the conflict through the
planning and execution of the raid and this in-depth analysis is
backed by rare photographs and stunning artwork by Johnny Shumate.
A nail-biter from beginning to end.
