The epic, forgotten story of a tragic military rescue mission as the Spanish-American War in the Philippines became a violent guerilla war between the United States and native Filipinos, and the Heart of Darkness story of American POWs in an unforgiving, foreign land.

As the United States engaged in a bloody campaign to pacify its newly-won Philippines territory, a secret American mission went terribly wrong, resulting in a prisoner-of-war incident that foreshadowed World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. What happened next was an epic struggle for survival, a test of the human will to live, and ultimately, a crucible for heroes. Their captivity and the torturous expedition sent to the American POWs'' rescue, recalled today as one of the greatest marches in U.S. Army history, features a tightly-hewn cast of characters. A sweeping military epic drawing on international primary sources, The Devil''s Causeway tells their extraordinary story in its entirety for the first time.
