Onward We Charge
The true story of one of the most charismatic commanders of World War II.

Awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart, and posthumously promoted to Brigadier General by President Truman, Colonel William Darby was an indisputable hero. His elite battalion of Army Rangers paved the way for Ranger success in subsequent wars—and left an unforgettable legacy in its wake.

Onward We Charge takes readers from the beachheads of North Africa to the bloody campaigns of southern Italy, and to Darby’s tragic death by German shrapnel just eight days before V-E Day. This is the true story of a man who held his own beside the greatest military figures in history.

“A thoroughly engrossing, can’t-put-it-down history of a battalion of courageous men.”
—Larry Alexander, author of Biggest Brother

“Anyone who is interested in the U.S. Army Rangers should read this book.”
—John C. McManus, author of Alamo in the Ardennes
