?An admirable effort that brings scholarly discernment to a topic encumbered by nostalgia and legend. Rather than focusing exclusively on battles, Hogan directs his attention to the larger issues of the Army's Rangers. . . . Many readers will be surprised at just how dramatic the shift in attitudes toward, and roles for, the Rangers have been. . . . Hogan's bibliographic essay is an excellent starting point for those wishing to read more on the Rangers.?-Armed Forces Journal International
