“From El Guettar in Tunisia to Pointe du Hoc in Normandy and beyond, Rangers led the way in World War II. They established a reputation second to none, and Rangers at Dieppe is a fitting commemoration of those Rangers who were first to fight. The fifty men who landed alongside the British and Canadians were novices to combat: its chaos, its fear, its unending noise. But Rangers were never supermen—just men who did extraordinary things extraordinarily well. Their legend began on the beaches of Dieppe, and DeFelice is its fitting chronicler.”—Dennis Showalter, author of Patton and Rommel: Men of War in the Twentieth Century
