Book Description
Company F (RANGER) 425th Infantry was a unique unit. As a unit in the Michigan Army National Guard it gained a reputation with the Active Army as an excellent unit, that consistently displayed professionalism and successful mission completion. When the Army disbanded its Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) companies to form the current Ranger battalions, Company F was one of only three remaining LRRP units left, and they were all in the National Guard.During the Cold War, Company F served as the LRRP company for REFORGER in 1984 and 1986. In 1982 it participated in the International LRRP Exercise TRISTAR. During the unit's assignment to I Corps, it participated with cells for the Team Spirit exercises in Korea, as well as several deployments to Fort Lewis to train with I Corps units.After the 911 attack Company F was ordered to active duty for two deployments to Iraq. While not always employed in its traditional reconnaissance and surveillance mission, it successfully completed a variety of mission ranging from convoy escort to training of Iraqi soldiers.Then, after 43 years of serving state and nation, Company F was inactivated in June 2011. At the time of its inactivation, Company F was the longest serving LRRP/LRS company in the United States Army.As Thomas Paine stated in 1776, "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." The part-time professionals of Company F (RANGER) 425th Infantry never shrank from their duty. They answered their nation's call time and time again. It is in their memory that this history has been written.RANGERS, LEAD THE WAY!

Book Description
On the afternoon of June 25, 1867, an overwhelming force of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians quickly mounted a savage onslaught against General George Armstrong Custer’s battalion, driving the doomed troopers of the U.S. Seventh Cavalry to a small hill overlooking the Little Bighorn River, where Custer and his men bravely erected their heroic last stand. So goes the myth of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, a myth perpetuated and reinforced for over 100 years. In truth, however, "Custer’s Last Stand" was neither the last of the fighting nor a stand. Using innovative and standard archaeological techniques, combined with historical documents and Indian eyewitness accounts, Richard Allan Fox, Jr. vividly replays this battle in astonishing detail. Through bullets, spent cartridges, and other material data, Fox identifies combat positions and tracks soldiers and Indians across the Battlefield. Guided by the history beneath our feet, and listening to the previously ignored Indian testimonies, Fox reveals scenes of panic and collapse and, ultimately, a story of the Custer battle quite different from the fatalistic versions of history. According to the author, the five companies of the Seventh Cavalry entered the fray in good order, following planned strategies and displaying tactical stability. It was the sudden disintegration of this cohesion that caused the troopers’ defeat. The end came quickly, unexpectedly, and largely amid terror and disarray. Archaeological evidences show that there was no determined fighting and little firearm resistance. The last soldiers to be killed had rushed from Custer Hill.

Book Description
Gordon Rhea's gripping fourth volume on the spring 1864 campaign-which pitted Ulysses S. Grant against Robert E. Lee for the first time in the Civil War-vividly re-creates the battles and maneuvers from the stalemate on the North Anna River through the Cold Harbor offensive. Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26-June 3, 1864 showcases Rhea's tenacious research which elicits stunning new facts from the records of a phase oddly ignored or mythologized by historians. In clear and profuse tactical detail, Rhea tracks the remarkable events of those nine days, giving a surprising new interpretation of the famous battle that left seven thousand Union casualties and only fifteen hundred Confederate dead or wounded. Here, Grant is not a callous butcher, and Lee does not wage a perfect fight. Within the pages of Cold Harbor, Rhea separates fact from fiction in a charged, evocative narrative. He leaves readers under a moonless sky, with Grant pondering the eastward course of the James River fifteen miles south of the encamped armies.
