Rangers in Korea

A generation before Vietnam, the war for Korea raged. It was as rough and dirty a war as has ever been fought– a war small in history, but very large to the men who waged it… .
In the Korean War, one group above all others distinguished itself, a small elite band who volunteered for action behind enemy lines. They were the men of the U. S. Army’ s legendary Rangers. They succeeded in making the first combat jump in Ranger history, destroying enemy headquarters, and inflicting the first defeat on Communist Chinese forces while suffering a disproportionate number of casualties.
This is their story, told here for the first time– based on military records, interviews with survivors, and the author’ s personal experiences as an American Ranger in the Korean War.
