The incredible story of the (until recently) secret military unit of World War II, the forerunner of the modern Special Forces. The highly skilled Alamo Scouts, formed by General Walter Krueger in 1943, evolved from a simple reconnaissance unit into a sophisticated intelligence unit supplying and coordinating large-scale guerrilla operations in New Guinea and Philippines. Deep behind enemy lines, they performed 106 successful missions, including the liberation of two prison camps.
