Ghost Soldiers

Our audiobook for the drive back from SL was Ghost Soldiers, by Hampton Sides.  It is the story of the rescue of American and other soliders held by the Japanese in the Phillipines during WWII.   The story was grisly, but the courage and heroism shown by the US Rangers and the Fillipino guerillas was amazing, not to mention the strength the POWs had to have to survive three years in deplorable conditions after being part of the Bataan Death March.  My respect for and admiration of the Philippine people definitely has increased as a result of that story.
