Autor Larry Alexanderen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2010 – vârsta de la 18 ani
A new account of World War II heroism from the national bestselling author of Biggest Brother.
Determined to retake the Philippines ever since his ignominious flight from the islands in 1942, General Douglas MacArthur organized a first- rate intelligence-gathering unit. They were called the Alamo Scouts.
Larry Alexander follows the men who made up the elite recon unit that served as General MacArthur's eyes and ears in the Pacific War.

Now, more than sixty years after the war, the story of the Alamo Scouts will finally be told.
