About this Item

222 Pages. June 1985 Edition which is a reprint of the 1980 Presidio Press Edition. Tight bright, square book with just a hint of age-tanning. Inside back cover has store stamp. Center section with 15 pages of black and white photographs. Illustrated with several maps. From the moment they hit the beaches in North Africa to the last desperate struggle at Anzio, Darby's Rangers only asked for one thing - the opportunity to fight. Experts at amphibious landings, night attacks and close combat, the Rangers were the spearhead for the advancing U.S. forces. And, at their helm, was William 0. Darby, a daring combat leader in the highest tradition of the U.S. Army. This is Darby's own story of those climactic days in his own words as dictated just a few months before his death to his friend General William H. Baumer. Against overwhelming odds in Tunisia, through the concentrated hell at Gela, on to the final kill at Messina and the Italian mainland, Darby and his Rangers truly led the way.
