Rangers in the Gap: Act with Courage, Never Surrender

"Since 1997, the Free Burma Rangers have launched hundreds of relief missions, because internally displaced people (IDPs) are starving. IDPs die from dysentery, fevers and untreated landmine wounds. At plundered villiages and jungle hide sites, ethnics feel stripped of dignity and hope. Free Burma Rangers cross raging rivers and scale mountains to help these IDPs. No mission is complete until every human rights violation or act of courage is documented and recorded for broadcast worldwide. What posesses a Free Burma Ranger to strap on a heavy rucksack full of food and medical supplies? Why do Rangers dodge battalions of Burma Army terrorists to deliver "help, hope, and love" to people they don't even know? In this book, seven Free Burma Rangers reveal the reasons they champion families ravaged by artilitery, flame, torture and death. Share in the Rangers' daring odysseys, and savor their sense of fulfillment. Their stories may challenge what you believe in your own destiny."--Publisher's Desription
