The Los Baños Raid: Behind Enemy Lines in WWII

Military historian and author Jeremy Holm reveals the astonishing, forgotten heroism of the "Angels" of the Pacific. He discusses the horrific conditions of the Japanese-run Los Baños Agricultural College internment camp and how a team of teenage paratroopers coordinated a flawless airborne assault to achieve one of the most successful rescue missions in military history.  Jeremy shares why he chose to retell these stories following a promise to his late grandfather, a decorated 11th Airborne paratrooper, that he would ensure the world never forgot the sacrifices his division made to save those prisoners.
