Bunker Hill to Bastogne

"Bunker Hill to Bastogne is a unique and timely chronicle of the birth and evolution of elite forces and the American public's reactions to them. It shows that despite Americans' wariness of a possible military elite, their love of the fabled rifleman-ranger has seldom dwindled, though in the twenty-first century their hero might wear a green beret or night-vision goggles rather than a coonskin cap."--BOOK JACKET.

Briton Cooper Busch was a professor of history at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York until his death in 2004.
