The book recounts a remarkable mission in 1945 to rescue U.S. troops being held and tortured in Japanese prison camps. “The Great Raid” is the movie title. Accounts of Japanese tanks deliberatly running over a wounded, straggling U.S. solider on the Bataan Death March open your eyes to the most graphic horrors of war. But you will also come away with a deep sense of the bravery, empathy and perseverance of these heroes.
For college age upward.
