"I don't care if you get shot down and have to walk back carrying the POWs on your backs, bring our people home!" That was the order issued by General Krider to the joint Army/Navy/Marine unit known as Task Force Buster.
It's mission, to blast through Japanese lines and seize control of the notorious POW camp known as Camp 37. The brutal treatment of Allied prisoners at the camp was legendary. Worse yet, intelligence is reporting that the POWs
are scheduled to be transported to the Japanese home islands in exactly one week. There is no more time to plan, no more time to prepare. The rescue force must move now!
