ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Ghost Soldiers" by Hampton Sides tells the story of the daring raid on the Cabanatuan prison camp in the Philippines during World War II. It narrates the experiences of American soldiers held captive by the Japanese, enduring brutal conditions, starvation, and disease, and the efforts of a group of U.S. Army Rangers, Alamo Scouts, and Filipino guerillas to liberate them. The book also highlights a clandestine network of support, including Claire Phillips's spy ring and the brave efforts of Chaplain Robert Taylor, who provide essential aid to the POWs from the outside. The book contrasts the brutality of war with the resilience of the human spirit and explores themes of sacrifice, courage, and the will to survive.
