Subject(s): Summary: RAID ON CABANATUAN is the factual story of how a small group of commandos penetrated over twenty five miles into enemy held territory with orders to save five hundred of their comrades. On foot behind the enemy lines with only light weapons, this determined band relied upon their training, combat experience, ingenuity and a young Filipino Guerrilla commander's knowledge of the area to avoid contact with the Japanese Army until they were ready to launch their attack. The success of their mission depended on the thoroughness of reconnaissance, detailed planning surprise action and luck. The events surrounding the attack on POW Camp Cabanatuan seem unbelievable, but this story is true.
