Darby's Rangers : an illustrated portrayal of the original Rangers, World War II, in training and in action
From the moment they hit the beaches in North Africa to their last desperate struggle at Anzio, Darby's Rangers asked for only one thing in World War II--the chance to fight. Experts at amphibious landings, night attacks, and close combat, the Rangers were the spearhead for advancing U.S. forces. And at their helm was William O. Darby, a forceful, charismatic man who inspired, and was inspired by, his troops. Against overwhelming odds in Tunisia, through the concentrated hell at Gela, on to the final kill at Messina and the Italian mainland, Darby and his Rangers led the way. James Altieri's book chronicles the training and missions of the Rangers in World War II thorugh photographs, stories, and personal narratives of the men
