Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission - Hampton Sides What an epic story of courage missing all these years from the WWII narrative. I am awed by what these men did and how the POWs survived terrible conditions. Living in NM, we hear about the Bataan Death March all the time from survivors from the NM 200th Coast Artillery. This story brings it to life. The bravery of the rescuers, POWs, Filipinos and others burns bright against the savagery of the Japaneses jailers. What other similar stories of WWII heroism lie hidden?
