| Summary |
The full story of the daring mission that inspired "Ghost soldiers". William B. Breuer recounts in searing, meticulous detail, based largely on interviews with survivors--the hellish battles of Bataan and Corregidor, the horrors of the Bataan Death March, and the harrowing efforts of guerilla fighters. A classic of its kind, "The great raid" tells the full story of this episode with a breadth and depth of detail that goes far beyond other accounts, including Hampton Sides's best-selling "Ghost soldiers". "The great raid" is a thrilling true-life adventure story and an inspiring testament to American heroism and grit. And, as retired four-star general Barry McCaffrey asserts in his introduction, "The great raid" is an "important book for our current military and political leaders to read." |
