Ghost Soldiers

For my outside reading book I read a book called "Ghost Soldiers". Ghost Soldiers is a great book, although it starts out a little slow, it is worth it to keep on. Summary: In World War II, a group of U.S. Army Rangers stationed in the Philippines are sent on a mission to liberate and rescue American POW before they are massacred by the Japenese. With about 200 hand selected U.S. Rangers and another 100 Filipino Guirellas, they have to endure a 30 mile plus walk through mountainous terrain in highly patrolled Japenese territory. The 30 mile walk seems to go ok. When they get in sight range of the POW camp they see that there are no trees or other natural barriers for them to hide themselves. There was nothing but wide open rice pattie fields for about a quarter mile all around the POW camp. This posed as a major problem for them because their was guard towers in the camp with pillboxes, so at first sight of an enemy they could potentially peper them with mounted fully auto high powered machine guns. The intial liberation of the camp was called off for 24 hours because of several armored cars and Japenese foot soldiers. 24 hours later they approached they POW camp at dusk, so they would be less likely to be spotted. The soldiers surrounded the Camp on the edges of the woods and the fields. They crawled slowly but undectected because of a U.S. Army Black Widow Airplane that flew over the camp teasing the guards and getting their attention to the sky, and not the ground, so the rangers could now move at a faster rate. At about 100 to 200 yards the Rangers carefully set up there .30 cailber machine guns, and waited for the go to. The several gunners mowed the camp pillboxes down to nothing, schredding the Japenese guards to pieces. The other rangers then aproached the gate and entered. First they went to the Japenese barracks and destroyed them and then they went to the American POW barracks to rescue them, saying "Its a jail break run for the gate". The Rangers and POW's were able to get back to American lines safely. The End
