Read this due to a meaningful recommendation.

I do not enjoy history. I do not enjoy stories of war. Yet the way they structured the narrative, along with the humanization and portrayal of each person within the Ranger battalion, caught my attention deep enough to finish this book relatively fast.

The stories and horrors this book recounts are truly harrowing – it left me with an intense appreciation for any single Allied soldier who was willing to enter the hellish landscape of WWII.
