U.S. and British warships poised in the English Channel had eighteen targets on their bombardment list for D-Day morning. The 100-foot promontory known as Pointe du Hoc - where six big German guns were ensconced - was number one. Under the bulldoggish command of Colonel James E. Rudder of Texas, these elite forces - "Rudder's Rangers" - took control of the fortified cliff. The liberation of Europe was under way. Based upon recently released documents, the boys of Pointe du Hoc is the first in-depth, anecdotal remembrance of these fearless Army Rangers. With brilliant deftness, Brinkley moves between two events four decades apart to tell the dual story of the making of Reagan's two uplifting 1984.   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
