Gr 4–8—Made all the more intriguing because every bit of it is true, this series examine the roles these specialized forces have played throughout U.S. history. Each book manages content in a different way. However, as a result, there is a fair bit of overlap among the volumes. For instance, in Statistics, readers learn through text and infographics about what made Confederate John Singleton Mosby's group of rangers (aka Mosby's Rangers) special during and after the Civil War. In Stories, Mosby's group is approached through narrative. Most of the focus is on U.S. missions, but there are accounts of groups with whom the United States collaborated, such as the Jedburgh teams of World War II. Throughout the series, the photos are full of action and the font suits the content well.
