U.S. Army Ranger Missions

April 1, 2016

Gr 2-5-Appealing to young military buffs and history enthusiasts, this collection spans the years between each unit's earliest operations and their contemporary missions. Although slim in format and information, each title gives readers a glimpse of the subject operation including relevant information such as names and dates, while a corresponding time line at the bottom of the page identifies the conflict as well as the mission's location, goal, and outcome. Archival photographs and reproductions accompany the accounts and underscore the valor and grit of the soldiers. Key words appear in bold and are defined in sidebars and the glossary; other sidebars provide readers with quick facts of interest, such as the SEAL in Navy SEAL standing for sea, air, and land. VERDICT While lacking in-depth information, the series provides a solid starting point for independent research.
