The Eisenhower Directive (Morgen's Rangers)

By Cal Kingston

When one of the leading minds behind the upcoming Normandy invasion unexpectedly disappears, General Dwight Eisenhower urgently needs to quickly find the man before he can be tortured and forced to divulge the impending landing details to the Germans. When allied spies deliver the grim news that the lost man is being held deep within the Reich, the general must launch a desperate attempt to retrieve the man before months of planning and build-up can be ruined. Beau Morgen and his small group of U.S. Army Rangers -- a new military unit formed and based loosely on the British Commandos -- are brought to the Supreme Allied Commander and tasked with the impossible. They are to journey deep into Nazi-held territory in the middle of the harshest winter in memory, and either retrieve the wayward officer -- or otherwise insure he cannot provide his top-secret knowledge to the German High Command. From the language barrier to the weather to the well-protected location, all of the odds are stacked against Morgen and his team succeeding. The betting odds back in London are heavy that this is a one-way trip. Morgen has never been afraid of long odds, and quickly builds an innovative plan that ruffles more than a few feathers among the military's hierarchy. A volunteer who found his way to the army through Officer Candidate School rather than following The Long Gray Line, Morgen is a perfect fit in the newly formed Rangers. On their journey into an unholy land, with Murphey's Law as their only constant companion, Morgen's Rangers will look to accomplish the impossible and bring Eisenhower's staffer back to England to continue his work. Blending real characters, locations, and events from the world's greatest conflict, along with untold stories recovered from declassified archives, the first book is the Morgen's Rangers series of WWII novels will keep you on the edge of your seat. Written to celebrate the heroes of 'Our Greatest Generation', The Eisenhower Directive is the perfect page-turner for a weekend at the beach or a late night curled up in the chair.
