SynopsisLearn 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.

Los Banos Raid
Great synopsis of the raid. My Uncle Henley Bratton was one of the prisoners that was freed. I have early memories of him and read correspondence between him and my brother David Fulghum concerning his years of confinement. Food was kept from the prisoners by a Japanese Sergeant. Most prisoners were malnourished. The raid took a coordinated effort between Philippine guerillas and the U.S. Army.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
