Formed as an elite intelligence
unit, the Alamo Scouts were to silently slip onto Japanese-held islands
and assess enemy locations, conditions, morale, and troop strength, all
while remaining undetected. It was an impossible task that became an incredible
success. More than just a recon and intelligence outfit, the Scouts conducted
rescue missions to recover prisoners from Japanese camps, organized and
supplied guerrilla freedom fighters, and provided protection for General
MacArthur himself. They completed at least 108 known missions, but not a
single Scout was killed or captured.
Drawing from interviews
and testimonies from Scout veterans, Larry Alexander weaves together the
tales of the individual Scouts, who often spent weeks behind enemy lines
to complete their missions. Now, more than sixty years after the wax, the
story of the Alamo Scouts has finally been told.
