U.S. Army Rangers & Special Forces of World War II tells the
story of the U.S. Army's elite Rangers and special forces largely
through pictures. Never before has such an expansive view of World
War II been offered in one volume. Furthermore, an extensive search
of public and private archives unearthed an astonishing number of
rare and never before seen images, some in color. Most notable are
the nearly twenty exemplary photographs of Lieutenant Colonel
William O. Darby's Ranger Force in Italy, taken by Robert Capa, who
is considered by many to be the greatest combat photographer of all
time. Complementing the period photographs are numerous color
plates detailing the rare and often unique items of insignia,
weaponry, and equipment that marked the soldiers whose heavy task
it was to lead the way.
