the boys of Pointe Du Hoc--the Rangers who accomplished D-Day's toughest mission and led the way across Europe
xiv, 305 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm.
An epic World War II story of valor, sacrifice and the Rangers who led the way to victory in Europe. This is the dramatic story of sixty-eight soldiers of the U.S. Army's 2nd Ranger Battalion, D Company, Dog Company, who were in the right place at the right time. From D-Day, when German guns atop Pointe du Hoc threatened the Allied landings and the men of Dog Company scaled the ninety-foot cliffs to destroy them, to the thickly forested slopes of Hill 400, in Germany's Hürtgen Forest, where the Rangers launched a desperate bayonet charge across an open field, captured the crucial hill and held it against all odds.
