"Following on the heels of his magnificent history of the 19th-century Texas Rangers, Mike Cox now traces the Rangers from 1900 to the present. From horseback to helicopter, from rough-and-tumble cattle ranches to boom-and-bust oil fields, and from Prohibition to World War II, Cox brilliantly guides listeners through the modern history of these legendary Texas lawmen."
"Mike Cox, journalist and Texas Ranger grand master, recounts enthralling tales of men who proudly wore the silver Lone Star, once hand-carved from the Mexican fivepeso. Whether facing Indians, banditos, or Yankees, Texas Rangers earned a reputation for being some of the most formidable lawmen in U.S. history. '[A] lively, enlightening history .' -Booklist"
