In this action-packed account, Robert W. Black draws on decades of original research to reconstruct the bloody combat history of Darby’s Rangers while also capturing the colorful personalities that gave the Ranger Force its fighting spirit: gritty, battle-hardened, and uniquely American. This is a rousing story of men at war.
In this gripping companion to his acclaimed The Battalion, which told the story of the 2nd Ranger Battalion in World War II, Robert W. Black turns his attention to the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Ranger Battalions, otherwise known as Darby's Rangers. These elite soldiers accompanied British commandos on the failed Dieppe Raid in August 1942, participated in Operation Torch in North Africa three months later, battled across Sicily the following summer, and ended the war in Italy, where they landed at Salerno in September 1943 and Anzio in January 1944 and were decimated at the Battle of Cisterna.
