Summary: Lyrical Nicotine
Comment: I can't stop reading. This book is amazing. I don't even really know why I purchased it, on a whim I guess, but I can't believe what I would've been missing had I not. It is everything said in the other reviews, and then some. I was literally sweating at some points of this story, it is truly a testament to the will of our armed forces. Check out the other review for details. God speed!

Summary: Ghost Soldiers
Comment: This book is a great book that shows the ruthlessness of Japanese soldiers toward American POW's. It starts off on the fight for Bataan, talks about the Bataan Death March and tells about their times at the POW camp. It show all of the POW's hardships. It also shows the Bravery of the rangers who went to rescue their comrades.
Rating: 5
Summary: Heroes that shouldn't be forgotten
Comment: This is not be the best written of books. It certainly lacks the command of language of a David McCullogh history.
All that aside, it is riveting history. A story that some how had become a whisper between historians is told in hellishly painful, personal detail.
In 1945, as the Allied war machine continuously grinds the Japanese empire, Japan's leaders issue orders to execute Allied POWs. At some of the POW camps scattered throughout the Pacific theater, these orders are carried out. In order to prevent another massacre, a resue mission of near suicidal bravery is planned and carried out by the 6th Army Ranger Battalion.
The rescue mission is a heroic story in itself. The book is made even better by the surrounding cast of characters: Claire Phillips who by luck, pluck and strange circumstance becomes an American spymaster or the various Filipinos without whom the raid would not have been possible.
Excellent history! Well worth reading!
