Episode Description from the Publisher

Conditions at the Los Baños camp are deteriorating. More and more prisoners have been transferred there, leading to overcrowding, and rations have been cut to under 1,000 calories per day. Prisoners are resorting to desperate acts to survive as they’re pushed to the physical and psychological brink. The nurses are also malnourished and struggling to care for their fellow prisoners. But the tide of the war has finally turned and an ambitious U.S. Army paratrooper named Henry Muller is developing a plan to liberate the camp. But first Muller has to get buy-in from his superiors for his risky plan. And if he doesn’t act fast, it may be too late to save anyone. Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Against the Odds ad-free right now.
