In the traditions of Group of Brothers, acclaimed fight historian Patrick K. O'Donnell cinematically says one of World War II's very best untold stories. It is stated that the right man in the right place at the right time often means the difference between win and defeat. This is actually the dramatic history of 68 troops in america Army's Second Ranger Battalion, Company D - "Dog Company" - who made that difference, time and again. From D-day, when German guns atop Pointe du Hoc threatened the Allied landings and the men of Dog Company scaled the sheer 90-foot cliffs to destroy them; to the slopes of Hill 400, in Germany's Hürtgen Forest, where in fact the Rangers launched a needy bayonet charge across an available field; to a "quiet" portion of the Ardennes, where Dog Company out of the blue found itself on the end of the spear at the Battle of the Bulge; the men of Dog Company made the difference. America got many heroes in World War II; however, few can say that, but also for them, the course of the war would have been very different. The right men, the right place, the right time - Dog Company. Patrick K. O'Donnell is the award-winning author of eight books, like the highly acclaimed accounts of the Battle of Fallujah We Were One. He has provided historical consulting for Group of Brothers and multiple documentaries. He lives in Austin, Tx.
