As MacArthur and Nimitz pushed the Japanese back, island by island, they put to flight Admiral Koga Mineichi, Yamamoto's successor and the commander of Japan's powerful Combined Fleet. Koga carried with him the detailed plans for the imperial navy's long-planned "decisive battle" at sea. But his plane crashed and the plans washed up on a Philippine beach. Thanks to the courage of two fishermen, the secret papers soon found their way to an extraordinary American guerrilla leader, who then risked everything to get them to the rendezvous with the Crevalle. But would the Crevalle reach the plans and the refugees before the Japanese caught wind of the scheme? The Crevalle and her heroic crew would first have to sail through enemy-infested waters to reach the island. And even if they made it, would the sub successfully pick up its precious cargo, then survive the 1,500-mile journey to Australia and freedom? A cross between the bestselling Blind Man's Bluff and the award-winning We Band of Angels, Steven Trent Smith's The Rescue is an unforgettable account of this daring mission, a relentless personal drama, and a masterpiece of military history.
