The exciting true story of a legendary leader and the men who fought by his side in World War II, told in his own words 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.

Darby's Rangers is an authentic war story, as vivid as the action itself. "Proud reading . . . of value to a new generation of military historians and 'battle buffs.'"--Military Affairs Magazine
