Good Stuff + what the other guys said

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Amber
This book was wonderful and an accurate depiction of what happened to these POW's. I would recommend it to anyone.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jerhet Ask
Awesome book, especially if you're interested in WWII and its many unknown stories. Thanks.

Rated 1 of 5 of 5 by Audrey
I didnt like this book because personally i thought it was borning and it felt like i was reading my American History book instead of a novel. I felt bad for all of the soldiers and everything, I just think that the author could have made it more interesting . I kept losing focus and I would start daydreaming whenever I read this book.

Review (not rated) by Thelma Blue
I like the book The Ghost Soldier. The only thing,I feel sorry for my dad, who was the ist liutenent of
the group called Bazooka, because his name was not mentioned at all in any of these stories. He has been looking for the any of the 6th army ranger taht is living to have a reunion with them. My dad headed the filipino group that worked with the 6th army rangers. Please, help my dad to make his dream come true of meeting them again if any is still alive. My dad is here now in US and has been looking for them since 1991.I will greatly appreciate if you could help. He is 87 years old now.
Thanks

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by mandee
Mandee, 14, I love this book! It is one of the greatest war stories i have ever read. It is a riveting, compelling story of heroism about the brave soldiers of the 6th Ranger Battalion going in behind enemy lines to rescue the POW's from Cabanatuan Camp. It is definitely a must read story for all those who love war stories!
