I couldn't tell if the fault lay with the author or the editor. The rest of the book flowed smoothly. It had me tossing in discs and staying seated until I heard the whole book. I had heard about the Bataan Death March but I had never heard about how those men were rescued until now. ( ) 'Ghost Soldiers' is an exciting account of the rescue of American POWs of WWII being held by the Japanese in prison camps in the Philippines. I listened to this story on audio and it was such a touching story, that it had me close to tears on more than one occasion. It is such a gratifying feeling to know that there are people out there in this world who truly care about their fellow men. The Army Rangers and the Filipino guerrillas who went on this rescue mission risked everything to rescue these POWs. They went behind enemy lines with no support and had to maintain radio silence in order to accomplish their mission. Not even our own military knew that they were attempting this feat. As I listened to the account, I felt that luck was always on the side of the Americans in this rescue event. That it went off as flawlessly as it did was truly amazing, and it left me with such a feeling of exhilaration when they successfully completed their mission. This is a story that truly makes one appreciate our men in the military and all they do for us. It is told with so much feeling and it is such a great story! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
