I just finished reading Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides. Really well done, easy to read -- other than the subject matter that is. I'd never read anything about the Bataan Death March and had never heard of the Ranger's rescue. It was disturbing to read of Japanese atrocities, although it wasn't the first time I'd read about them -- I finished Flyboys last year and found it horrifying, for lack of a better word. Definitely worth reading, but horrifying. Flyboys gave a better explanation of where the Japanese warrior mentality came from and made reading Ghost Soldiers a little more understandable, but both are excellent histories.
