Book Overview
This study of the US Army Ranger takes the reader through the distinct stages of training and acceptance, including the Ranger Indoctrination Program and Ranger Battalion training, and details the developments in Ranger weaponry, equipment and clothing since the early 1980s. Using first hand accounts, it shows what it was like to fight in Panama in 1989, in raid missions in Iraq in 1991 and Somalia in 1993, and brings the unit up to date with the 3rd Battalion's deployment to Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom. It also covers the culture of the Rangers, from their special language and terminology, to the rites of passage that lie behind the formal training program.

Perhaps the reviewer ought to actually read the book because then he would realize that the book was written mostly before 9/11 when almost no information was publicly available. The intended purpose of this series is to show what it is like to be in that unit. Poor photo quality - how is that the authors fault? Many people who review Osprey hold the author accountable for color plates as well - do they draw them?. Also the reviewers ought to remember what each Osprey series is about - some are just plain old data presentations, others analysis and so forth. Seems the reviewer just has an axe to grind. The book is very solid considering it was written in 2001 and that it covers the experiences of the soldiers.
