What is The rescue : a true story of courage and survival in World War II about?
By 1944, forty Americans - missionaries, escaped POWs, and sugar growers - had been hiding from the Japanese for nearly three years in the mountainous Negros Island. They moved frequently from one primitive hideout to the next, ever in danger, subsisting on what little the locals could spare. When word came that a U.S. sub, the Crevalle, was on its way to save them, they endured a hundred-mile trek through jungle and swamp to the rendezvous point. But their rescue was just a cover for a mission of much greater strategic importance.
