This is the stirring story of how a small group of American Rangers were called upon to rescue over 500 American and Allied prisoners of war from a hellish place in the Philippines called Cabanatuan.

It was one of the darkest chapters in World War II history. The men held at the Cabanatuan POW camp were part of the 78,000 American and Filipino troops who had surrendered to the Japanese in 1942. Many were forced into the infamous "Bataan Death March." These are stories of those who survived years of unspeakable torture, starvation and tropical disease.

In this gripping episode of "War Stories with Oliver North," we take you inside the largest and most successful rescue mission of American troops in U.S. Army history as told by some of the men who were part of it. Their story is one of real heroes who fought for freedom on the front lines, not in Hollywood.
