NY: Berkley Caliber Books. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. 2008. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 0425219216 . A remarkable saga of heroism under fire. DeFelice's account of the American Rangers' baptism of fire two years before D-Day is as compelling as it is provocative. This is military history at its best. --Colonel Cole C. Kingseed. Just months after Pearl Harbor, with America still struggling to bring itself up to fighting strength for World War II, it was decided that a specially-trained force based upon the British commando squads should be formed. They would become known as the Rangers. Before their training was even complete, they would be thrust into the crucible of battle, taking part in a combined Canadian-British assault on the Germanheld French port of Dieppe. The raid was a disaster, and the fight for Dieppe became a slaughter, with horrific Allied losses. Several Rangers were killed or wounded--the first American blood spilled on European soil in the Second World War.…

Description:
Ballantine. As New. 1992. Mass Market Paperback. 0804105650 . From the deadly shores of North Africa to the invasion of Sicily to the fierce jungle hell of the Pacific, the contribution of the World War II Ranger Battalions far outweighed their numbers. They were ordinary men on an extraordinary mission, experiencing the full measure of the fear, exhaustion, and heroism of combat in nearly every major invasion of the war. Whether spearheading a landing force or scouting deep behind enemy lines, these highly motivated, highly trained volunteers led the way for other soldiers -- they were Rangers. With first-person interviews, in-depth research, and a complete appendix naming every Ranger known to have served, author Robert Black, a Ranger himself, has made the battles of WWII come to life through the struggles of the men who fought to win the greatest war the world has ever seen. Faint spine crease; B&W Photographs; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 434 pages; 16740 .

Description:
Westview Press. Near Fine. 1998. 1st Paperback Edition. Softcover. 0813343011 . Anzio was one of the greatest battles of World War II-a desperate gamble to land a large amphibious force behind German lines in Italy in the hope that the war could be shortened by capturing Rome. It also turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles in U. S. Military history. Based on extensive research into archives, photos, letters, diaries, previously classified official records, and scores of personal interviews with surviving veterans of the 45th, The Rock of Anzio is written with an immediacy that puts the reader right onto the battlefield and shows us war through the eyes of ordinary men called upon to perform extraordinary deeds. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 479 pages; 30839 .
