Description: Hour of RedemptionThe Heroic WWII Saga ofAmerica's Most Daring POW Rescueby Forrest Bryant JohnsonNew - UNREAD - Trade Paperback1st Publisher's Edition Central Luzon 1945. General MacArthur's Army of Liberation slices across the Philippines to strike at Manila and cut off the Japanese Imperial Army's retreat to the north. But 25 miles behind enemy lines, outnumbered by a force six times its own strength, an elite team of US Rangers, Filipino guerillas and Alamo Scouts is about to penetrate the very heart of the Japanese pow camp at Cabanatuan. Their mission: rescue the American POWs left to die after the infamous Bataan Death March - and get out alive.This classic work, credited as a major source for the bestselling Ghost Soldiers, is a gripping narrative chronicle of the U. S. Army Ranger-led raid on the Cabanatuan POW camp in World War II, in which over 500 ragged POWs were liberated and half-led, half-carried to U.S. lines. From the horrors of Bataan to the strategies that shaped the Allied counterattack on Japan in the Philippines, here are unforgettable portraits of generals and survivors, of elite U.S. Alamo Scouts and remarkable Filipino guerrilla fighters. Definitive, epic, and vivid, Hour of Redemption is a powerful testament to human courage - and the will to survive in the face of hell itself.
