Burma, 1944: The 5307th commanded by Brigadier General Frank D. Merrillis deep behind Japanese lines marching through the dense, unforgiving jungle. They've gone undetected--so far--but the trek has taken its toll on the gaunt, fatigued soldiers. Then, arriving at their destination,the men endure the sheer hell of war, only to be ordered on another forced march through the jungle...another mission for the hard-bitten men dubbed Merrill's Marauders.
