During World War II the United States Army organized a remarkable array of highly specialized, small units. The ranks of these forces were filled with men who, by virtue of their natural aggressiveness and intensive training, possessed diverse war-making skills well beyond those of standard troops. This book, by the author of The Supercommandos, 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 elite forces been offered in one volume. An extensive search of public and private archives unearthed an astonishing number of rare and never before seen images, including color.
