Product Information
A twenty-first-century reckoning with the legendary Texas Rangers that does justice to their heroic moments while also documenting atrocities, brutality, and corruption The Texas Rangers rode into existence in 1823, when Texas was still part of Mexico, and continue today as one of the most famous of all law enforcement agencies. In Cult of Glory , Doug J. Swanson offers a sweeping account of the Rangers that chronicles both their epic, daring escapades and how the white and propertied power structures of Texas have used them as enforcers and protectors. Fleshing out key episodes and individuals in Texas Ranger history, Swanson begins by covering their birth and emergence as conquerors of the wild and violent Texas frontier, as they skirmished with Apaches and Comanches and assisted the U.S. Army in the Mexican War. Beginning around 1870, the Rangers transformed themselves from a frontier battalion into a state police force. Although the Rangers found themselves rocked by a series of corruption scandals in the 1930s, their reputation soared thanks to pulp novelists, movies, and the radio series and television show "The Lone Ranger." As the Rangers have entered the contemporary era, they have attempted to present themselves as a modern crime-fighting force, dealing with flashpoints like school integration, farmworkers' strikes, and patrol of the U.S. Mexico border. But they have been stymied by their hidebound ways and the glorification of their past. As Swanson shows, Rangers and their supporters have for decades used propaganda, deception, and outright falsehoods to depict scandalous, oppressive, and illegal Ranger behavior as heroic triumphs. Cult of Glory sets the record straight for the first time.

Reviews
Advance praise for Cult of Glory : "This boldly revisionist account takes no prisoners." -- Publishers Weekly " Cult of Glory is a masterpiece of American history. Period. Doug Swanson has taken on the Texas Ranger legend in all of its terrifying magnificence, disassembled it, and created in its place a real, true, and shockingly new history." --S.C. Gwynne, author of Empire of the Summer Moon "Utterly absorbing and sweeping in scope. Doug J. Swanson has stripped away the clichés and mythology of the Texas Rangers and written a meticulous and propulsive narrative that's a delight to read." --Gilbert King, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Beneath a Ruthless Sun "The conquest of the American West was a ruthless, sanguinary affair. At long last, Doug J. Swanson's Cult of Glory resurrects the truth about the Texas Rangers and their complicated history, and it's a far stranger, more fascinating tale than any you've ever read about the storied lawmen. A revelatory masterpiece." -- Melissa del Bosque, author of Bloodlines: The True Story of a Drug Cartel, the FBI, and the Battle for a Horse-Racing Dynasty "The Rangers in Swanson's Cult of Glory are, by turns, heroic, villainous, astonishingly brave and sometimes breathtakingly inept. Every chapter--and I mean every single one--contains a character who could have been sprung straight out of a screenwriter's imagination." --Skip Hollandsworth, author of The Midnight Assassin " Cult of Glory 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. It's a wild and timely ride you need to go on--adrenaline-packed and enlightening." --Jean Guerrero, Emmy-winning journalist and author of Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir and Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda "[A] big story . . . to tell, expanding on, updating, and sometimes correcting works by writers such as Walter Prescott Webb and John Boessenecker . . . Revisionist history done well." --Kirkus Reviews, Advance praise for Cult of Glory : "[ Cult of Glory ] rigorously chronicles two centuries of Ranger misadventures and atrocities, as well as commendable operations undertaken by the Rangers in recent decades . . . [and] strives to be as panoramic as possible, telling a big story on a big canvas . . . it also strives to supplant the Ranger narratives of yore by synthesizing decades of others' research as well as Swanson's own findings." --John Phillip Santos, Texas Monthly "This boldly revisionist account takes no prisoners." -- Publishers Weekly " Cult of Glory is a masterpiece of American history.

A fascinating historical narrative, packed with colorful episodes and outsize characters . . . In setting the record straight about the Texas Rangers, Swanson clarifies and enriches the remarkable story of Texas for everyone." -- Houston Chronicle "A harrowing deep dive into the Rangers'' darkest moments . . . What Swanson found in his thousands of documents is that the history of the Rangers is hardly a pretty picture when it comes to documenting their treatment of people of color." -- The Dallas Morning News "In an era in which some desire a return to a perceived greatness, books like this remind us greatness is often reliant on the selective memory of storytellers." -- Library Journal (starred review) "This boldly revisionist account takes no prisoners." -- Publishers Weekly " Cult of Glory is a masterpiece of American history.
