Rangers in Korea: The War the World Didn't Want to Remember, Fought by the Men the World Will Never Forget Mass market paperbound - 2002
by Robert W. Black
The U.S. Army Rangers have fought in every war the U.S. has waged from Roger's Rangers in 1756 to the LRRPs of Vietnam. During the Korean War, the Rangers succeeded in making the first combat jump in Ranger history, destroying enemy headquarters, and inflicting the first defeat on Communist Chinese forces. This is their story.
First line
In the dark early morning hours of Sunday, 25 June 1950, soldiers of the Republic of Korea huddled at their positions near the 38th parallel.
From the jacket flap
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.
