This book is an honest account of the exploits of an a member of the original U.S.Army Rangers. Arnbal tells it like it was injecting humor and passion obtained only from the memories and reflections of actually fighting against "Gerry" in the campaigns of North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.This is the Darby Rangers group that were famous for light infantry assualt and night raids that surgically removed a threat before morning coffee. This is the stuff that paved the way for the the allied invasion of Europe. The Rangers before D day.
It also tells his perspective of the Anzio SNAFU which was a tragic page on the history of the "fightingest" group of individuals in the USA.If you are just looking for an historical treatise written by some Desk Jockey that has compiled info from other peoples writings don't buy this book, but if you want a soldiers"first hand" perspective on the group that is the foundation stone for US Special Forces buy this book. Better yet,buy two copies share it with a friend laugh and cry from the training in Ireland and Scotland all the way to Northern Italy. Rangers lead the way!
