"Arthur transforms the true story if the Westerners interned by the - Japanese in the Philippines, 1942-45, into an account as gripping as the most vivid adventure novel. His book is not only intensely readable but also extraordinarily worthwhile, exploring the tribulations and the nobility of the human spirit under the hellish conditions of a Japanese prison camp, as well as the valor and initiative of the American and Filipino troops who liberated them." ?D. Clayton James author of The Years of MacArthur "Deliverance at Los Banos is a compelling, never-before-told story of American courage and endurance in a World War II prisoner-of-war camp. The author brings the time and pla0e to life in a fast-paced narrative. In short, a good story, well told." ?Duane Schultz author of Hero of Bataan and Wake Island "An epic of gallantry displayed -in adversity?by American and Allied civilians interned under brutal conditions by the Japs for three years and by the American paratroopers and Filipino guerrillas who rescued them from almost certain death after the fall of Manila in 1945." William R. Emerson director, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library "The swift, daring, and wholly successful raid which rescued over 2000 of our countrymen from the Los Bailos prison camp was truly one of the brightest moments of our war in the Pacific. Dr. Arthur's research has been thorough. His depiction of the spirit and character of the 11th Airborne Division and his recounting of the events of this complex operation was remarkably accurate. It is a fascinating and fast-moving story." ?Henry J. Muller, Jr. Brig. Gen. U.S. Army ( Ret.) former G-2, 11th Airborne Division Don't forget to check out other great deals in our Store!!
