Autorenporträt

Noel Melho's career has spanned geology, transportation, and history. After his time in the army in military intelligence, he wrote and self-published the book The Lost Ranger: A Soldier's Story, about his grandfather in the 5th Rangers in World War II. He lives in Columbus, Ohio. Contributor Joseph Balkoski is, in the words of USA Today, "the top living D-Day historian" and, in the words of the Wall Street Journal, "a true maestro of original D-Day history." He has written Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, and Beyond the Beachhead, the first in a five-volume history of the 29th Division in World War II. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland. Contributor John Raaen Jr., a 1943 West Point graduate, earned a Silver Star with the 5th Rangers on D-Day, when his battalion landed on Omaha by mistake (instead of at Pointe du Hoc). He went on to a distinguished career in army ordnance, earning a degree in nuclear physics from Johns Hopkins and serving in Korea and Vietnam. He is a member of the Ranger Hall of Fame and Ordnance Corps Hall of Fame. He lives in central Florida.
