product description
Cult of Glory by Doug Swanson is a remarkable feat of reporting, conjuring the crimes and courage of the Texas Rangers while dismantling toxic American myths - from the romanticized anti-hero to American exceptionalism. Swanson refuses to reduce the Texas Rangers to a monolith, instead breathing cinematic life into their diverse makeup of white supremacists, cold-blooded murderers and heroes. In gripping prose, he reveals the contradictions that forged America and fueled the earliest border wars. Itâ??s a wild and timely ride you need to go on - adrenaline-packed and enlightening.
