Ghost Soldier is by Hampton Sides and is about the account of the most successful rescue mission during WW2. A movie was made from this book with the title "The Raid". The story centers on the American prisoners of war that were held in a camp in the Philippines. These prisoners were remnants of those captured at Bataan early in the war. Many had been taken off the islands but approximately 500 remained.
The Americans were advancing through Philippines and were getting close to the POW camp. They were afraid the Japs would kill or try to move the prisoners out, both of which could result in their deaths. They devised a plan to send a Ranger team behind enemy lines to attack the camp and rescue the prisoners.
This was the most successful mission that involved the Rangers during WW2. The book is written with one chapter relating the events of the prisoners and the next chapter the events of the Rangers. This goes back and forth until the chapter of the raid. The book has a lot of great facts of this part of the campaign.
The movie ends with actual WW2 film footage of the prisoners returning from the raid and their processing back to the US.
