In 1899, a naval officer's recklessness triggered a rebel ambush, America's first prisoners of war in the Philippines, and one of the greatest rescue missions in US history.
As the United States engaged in a bloody campaign to pacify its newly won Philippines territory, a secret American mission went terribly wrong. The result was a prisoner-of-war crisis, the likes of which our nation had never encountered before. The epic struggle for survival that followed was not only a test of the human will to live but a crubile for heroes. And yet, what was touted as a heoric rescue operation extended a war by almost two years and cost the lives of thousands. Their captivity and the torturous expedition sent to the American POWs' rescue--recalled today as one of the greatest marches in US Army history--features a tightly hewn cast od characters. A sweeping military epic drawing on international primary sources, the Devil's Causeway tells their extraordinary story in its entirety for the first time.
