de Jim DeFelice
After Pearl Harbor, the United States was strugglingto bring itself up to fighting strength for World WarII when a specially-trained force-based upon thefamed British commando squads-was formed. Itwould become known as the Rangers.
Before their training was complete, the Rangerswere thrust into battle, taking part in an assault onthe German-held French port of Dieppe. Plaguedby politics and inter-service rivalry, the raid wouldbecome one of the greatest debacles of the war.Allied losses included several Rangers killed orwounded-the first American blood spilled onEuropean soil in the war.
Here, drawn from historical records and personalrecollections by those who were there, andillustrated with photographs, is the story of thebaptism of fire of what would become the U.S.Army Rangers.
Resumen
Before their training was complete, the Rangers were thrust into battle, taking part in an assault on the German-held French port of Dieppe. Plagued by politics and inter-service rivalry, the raid would become one of the greatest debacles of the war. Allied losses included several Rangers killed or wounded-the first American blood spilled on European soil in the war.
Here, drawn from historical records and personal recollections by those who were there, and illustrated with photographs, is the story of the baptism of fire of what would become the U.S. Army Rangers.
