Praise for Rangers at Dieppe
“A remarkable saga of heroism under fire...this is military history
at its best.”—Colonel Cole C. Kingseed, co-author of Beyond Band of
Brothers
“A carefully researched and brilliantly executed narrative of the
modern Rangers' baptism in blood. DeFelice's skillful account of
this almost unknown story sheds bright light onto the origins of a
great American military tradition.”—America in WWII
“An up-to-date, clearly written, comprehensively researched account
of the formation and training of the American
Rangers.”—Booklist
“Carefully researched and vividly told.”—Publishers Weekly
“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
