More than two years had passed since the British had been humiliated at Dunkirk, and nearly nine months since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. The Germans held the continent in a death grip. Now, some six thousand British and Canadian troops were attempting to gain a foothold on Hitler's domain. Joining the crusaders were fifty hand-selected, specially-trained soldiers from a new commando unit. These were to be the first Americans to fight in Europe, and they would become known as the U.S. Army Rangers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The mission was doomed, but the bravery the Rangers displayed proved that Americans were every bit as tough as their allies and enemies. Drawn from firsthand accounts and historical documents, this is an unforgettable story of the forging of an American legacy that still endures today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\" A] carefully researched and brilliantly executed narrative of the modern Rangers' baptism in blood.\"--\u003ci\u003eAmerica in WWII\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim DeFelice\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-author of Chris Kyle's #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eAmerican Sniper. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also the author of \u003ci\u003eWest Like Lightning: The Brief, Legendary Ride of the Pony Express\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOmar Bradley: General at War\u003c\/i\u003e, the first in-depth critical biography of America's last five-star general; and the co-author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eCode Name: Johnny Walker: The Extraordinary Story of the Iraqi Who Risked Everything to Fight with the U.S. Navy SEALs\u003c\/i\u003e.
