ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bruce Bytnar is regarded as one of the finest examples of the competence
and commitment for which the men and women of the ranger force are famous .
Highly skilled in a variety of disciplines, his career took him from
assignments as varied as firefighting across the western mountains to VIP
pro tection details in eastern cities, a rescue mission in the rugged
Appalach ians, tracking criminals through forests and fields, and to the
response in the nation's capital after the attacks of September 11.
