"Briton Busch’s Bunker Hill to Bastogne: Elite Forces in American
Society is a valuable addition and welcome new perspective to the
study of the military history of the United States. It is not just
a well-written and engaging history of the elite forces but also an
illustration of how the story of the rugged individualist in the
guise of the lone rifleman has such an appeal to Americans. Highly
recommended."—Peter Tsouras, author of Gettysburg: An Alternative
History and Alexander: Invincible King of Macedonia

painstakingly researched. The late Dr. Busch’s fact-filled and
insightful book on the evolution of elite units within the American
armed forces will make a great addition to the library of anyone
interested in military history."—Larry Alexander, author of the
bestselling Biggest Brother: The Life of Major Dick Winters: The
Man Who Led the Band of Brothers

written history of America’s unique military tradition and
elite-force lineage. It belongs in the collection of every serious
student of military history."—W. Thomas Smith, Jr., former U.S.
Marine, columnist, and author of the Encyclopedia of the Central
Intelligence Agency
