Bruce Henderson, the bestselling author of Hero Found, returns with the incredible true story of one of the greatest military rescues of all time, the 1945 World War II prison camp raid at Los Baños in the Philippines. Combining personal interviews, diaries, correspondence, memoirs, and archival research, Rescue at Los Baños (William Morrow) tells the daring story of a remarkable group of prisoners — whose courage and fortitude helped them overcome hardship, deprivation, and cruelty — and of the young American soldiers and Filipino guerrillas who risked their lives to save them.
