Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative follows Army Captain Donald D. Blackburn, who defied surrender during the fall of Bataan. Alongside future Special Forces icon Russell Volckmann, Blackburn escaped to North Luzon, where he formed a guerrilla army of over 22,000 men, known as Blackburn's Headhunters, to combat Japanese forces. The book chronicles Blackburn's remarkable military strategies and his later influence on Special Forces operations, including the notable Son Tay Prison Raid.
