This is the story of Raymond Noel Dye, one of the youngest members of the Ranger battalions of World War II. Many imminent politicians, statesmen, authors and historians have told their stories of that pivotal moment in the history of the world. The same can be said of a multitude of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen. Art Durshimer does not retell the story of the war, but instead strives to tell the story of a very small and personal part of that war, the part that concerned one of the youngest privates in one of the Army's newest units. Art has skillfully taken this man's story and told it in a way that you feel like you are sitting in on the interviews. This is Noel's story, and those early Rangers, who blazed a trail of glory for others to follow. They are heroes every one. Contents: Co.
