Cover of Gordon L. Rottman: Los Banos Prison Camp Raid (ePUB)

On the southwest shore of Laguna de Bay in the Philippines stood the Los Banos Internment Camp. Held within were 2, 147 starving POWs, surrounded by thousands of Japanese troops. As the desperate battle for Manila raged, only 130 Paratroopers could be spared for the rescue operation. Supported by Alamo Scouts, local guerrillas, and amphibious tractors, they seized the element of surprise, and rescued the POWs. It was a stunning triumph of courage and perfect timing in the face of overwhelming odds.
