 U.S. ARMY RANGERS and SPECIAL FORCES OF WORLD WAR II -
Their War in Photographs. by Robert Todd Ross. Extra large 8 1/2" x 11" volume with over 250 b&w and color photos. During World War II the United States Army organized a remarkable array of highly specialized, small units. The ranks of these forces were filled with men who, by virtue of their natural aggressiveness and intensive training, possessed diverse war-making skills well beyond those of standard troops. Includes all Ranger battalions, the Alamo Scouts, Merrill's Marauders, Bushmasters, First Special Service Force, Kachin Rangers, & more!
This book, by the author of The Supercommandos, tells the story of the U.S. Army's elite Rangers and Special Forces largely through pictures. Never before has such an expansive view of World War II elite forces been offered in one volume. An extensive search of public and private archives unearthed an astonishing number of rare and never before seen images, including color. Most notable are the nearly twenty exemplary photographs of Lieutenant Colonel William O. Darby's Ranger Force in Italy, taken by Robert Capa, considered by many to be the greatest combat photographer of all time. Complementing the period photographs are numerous color plates detailing the rare and often unique items of insignia, weapons, and equipment that marked the soldiers whose heavy task it was to "Lead the Way." |
