The Houdini Club: The Epic Journey and Daring Escapes of the First Army Rangers of WWII

"Spotlighting their legendary escapes from German World War II prisoner-of-war camps, so miraculous that this band of jailbreakers was dubbed 'The Houdini Club,' military historian and retired Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar delivers a thrilling, personality-driven account of the first United States Army Ranger battalion—from their rugged Ranger training to their battles in North Africa, France, Sicily, and mainland Italy, and (for some) finally back to American shores. Drawing upon unprecedented historical research, his own military-service expertise, and his exclusive interviews and personal correspondence with original Greatest Generation Army Rangers, Bahmanyar has crafted an uncensored work of military history in the tradition of The Longest Day, With the Old Breed, and Band of Brothers. The Houdini Club captures the personal drama of World War II Special Forces warfare. The men of maverick Colonel William O. Darby's Rangers had abundant tales of glory, yes, but also tales of misery, fear, and murderous intent. Then, there was the utter exhaustion contrasted by the thrill of combat, the devastating final battle that all but destroyed them, and the ingenuity and sheer determination that made the highly vaunted German Afrika Korps and veteran German Parachute and Panzer units marvel at their guerilla tactics and their prison breakouts."

Run to the Sound of the Guns: The True Story of an American Ranger at War in Afghanistan and Iraq

"Sweeping from frozen mountaintops to dusty city streets, and everything in between, this is the gripping and deeply personal account of an elite Ranger who nearly lost his life 'leading the way' in America's secretive global wars. As part of an elite special operations unit at the fighting edge of the Global War on Terrorism, Nicholas Moore spent over a decade with the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. In this compelling biography, a detailed narrative of grueling life on the ground combines with accounts of some of the most dramatic search and rescue operations of the period to tell the true story of life on the line in the War on Terror. Charting his rise from private to senior non-commissioned officer, this title follows Moore as he embarks on a series of dangerous deployments, engaging in brutal street combat and traversing inhospitable terrain in pursuit of Taliban fighters and Iraq's Most Wanted. Including first-hand accounts of high-profile special operations missions such as the tense rescue of Private First Class Jessica Lynch and the search and rescue mission for U.S. Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, Moore recounts, in vivid detail, the realities of life on the front line."
