I wouldn't call it boring. It isn't "exciting". It isn't the new style of "history" where only the most basic facts are included in a fictional narrative of who said what to whom when and where - even though all of those conversations were lost to history five minutes after they occurred. This is history as gleaned from the memories of very, very few survivors of a very, very small unit.When I read about the POW rescue, I ran across ''Alamo Scouts'' and wondered who that was. Was it a misnamed reference to the Philippine Scouts? No, it wasn't. Now I know who they were; and know more about their role in the rescue.This is one of only two books, (as far as I know) about this small, secret and strategically important unit. I daresay no one else will get the opportunity to interview any of the survivors because from what I inferred from the is book there were only four or so left almost ten years ago when it was written.
Great stories of some very special operators are revealed by the author Larry Alexander. The Alamo Scouts were an adhoc group created by Major General Walter Krueger during WWII. Their main mission was to aggregate as much information on the enemy as possible. With this in mind the General handpicked some key officers who created a 6 week training program for the all volunteer warrior project. These volunteers knew that they would be at the tip of the spear and used accordingly. Their 100 plus missions took place behind enemy lines in and around New Guinea and the Republic of the Philippines. For the most part these special operators worked in teams of 6; comprised of one Lt and five enlisted men. Their primary job was to collect needed information on the Japanese troop strength, the health and viability of their troops, how well they were equipped, fed, and so on. Also they would be tasked with finding suitable beach landings and airstrips. Most of these missions were carried out in tandem with the US Navy's PT Boats. The water transportation provided the Scouts access to the enemy occupied islands.The Alamo Scouts got their name from Gen Krueger who was from San Antonio. It was his way of tipping his hat and paying homage to the actual Alamo located in his home town. Since their missions were kept classified until the 1980's, information gleaned by Mr. Alexander was from the few remaining survivors of that small band of brothers. I believe he mentions that a total of 130 plus soldiers were trained and successfully graduated into the Alamo Scouts. The Scouts disbanded shortly after WWII.Two of the operations involved liberating 513 prisoners from Cabanatuan, and more than 2,000 civilian internees from the Los Banos prison camp. All but two prisoners survived the rescue at Cabanatuan... the two that died were from heart failure. Both operations were done with the aid of supporting ground and air troops. Specifically the 11th Airborne was used for the Los Banos mission, and the 6th Army along with Major Robert Lapham's Raiders, (guerrillas), were used for Cabanatuan. One of the big claims-to-fame if you will is that not one Alamo Scout ever died while in performance of their duties. Also they were so successful at completing assigned missions, that Gen Krueger was quoted to have said: "I wouldn't trade the whole damned Jap Army for one Alamo Scout". Although the Scouts worked covertly, that is mostly in a clandestine and surreptitious manner, they still had close contact with the enemy, killing over 500 Japanese throughout their 100 plus missions.Fantastic read and quite engaging. Definitely worth the price of admission.
The Alamo Scouts were the Army's special operations units in the Pacific Theater. I was particularly interested in their operations in the Philippines, since I lived there as a kid in the 1950's.They were the spear head of the Cabanatuan (the Great Raid) and Los Banos POW camp rescues. This book is exciting reading, My only complaints are a reference to Baguio City, the Philippine summer capital, as a "village". It was already a city early in the 20th century and had recovered from war damage when I lived there in the 1950's. For some reason the author and editors believe in an beast called a "caraboa" and consistently missed the correct spelling of carabao (water buffalo). Otherwise I've found it very informative.in the parts I've read.
In 1944, American General Walter Krueger developed the idea of a unique force of scouts and raiders who would infiltrate behind Japanese lines to scout enemy locations, troop strength, strongholds, and aid guerrilla groups. This idea turned into the Alamo Scouts, and "Shadows in the Jungle" describes the birth of this outfit and the numerous missions they conducted behind enemy lines.These men were the toughest the army had to offer. Their job was to slip in behind enemy lines and assess enemy troop strength, morale, and conditions, while at the same time, remaining undetected by the enemy. To accomplish this task, the teams were made up of only six men. They were usually dropped off by PT boat and picked up at the end of their mission. The scouts went ashore in rubber rafts and rowed back to the waiting PT boat. The scouts conducted over 100 missions behind enemy lines and, miraculously, didn't have a single member killed in combat. Conversely, the scouts killed over 500 Japanese soldiers, took many others prisoner, and participated in several prisoner liberation raids, the most famous being at Cabanatuan prison camp. Here, many of the survivors of the Bataan Death March were kept. The scouts, in conjunction with the Army Rangers, led a surprise attack against the camp and freed 516 prisoners.I was fascinated by author Larry Alexander's story of the Alamo Scouts. This is the first book I've read that has been totally devoted to their story. I found the reading informative and exciting, and I've developed a new respect for these brave men. I have read previous books about the raid on Cabanatuan prison, and these only mention the Alamo Scouts. Alexander has dug much deeper, and this fine book gives a complete history of the scouts. The book is well-researched and well-written, and I learned about a group of soldiers that I knew little of before. Highly recommended.
