Helpful Score: 1

There is only one book I can actually say I had trouble putting down once I started and this is it. Extremely well researched and written, this is the story of WWII American POWs captured by the Japanese in the Philippines after MacArthur's surrender and their eventual rescue. This is really two stories, the POW's and the team sent to rescue them. Alternately written from both sides, the book inexorably leads to the final mission. But this is no Hollywood climax, just the culmination of an incredible story. The entire book is a climax, it is that well written. The style and content make this the best book by far I have read on the Bataan Death March.
