Ranger School

“Raw, funny, at times painfully descriptive, but always inspiring; Jimmy Blackmon’s book Ranger School, will make every American proud of the warriors that wear the Ranger Tab.” – Admiral William H. McRaven, Admiral, USN (Retired)“One of the identifying qualities of a good leader is the ability to lead a “felt” life. In his new book Ranger School, Jimmy Blackmon takes us inside the Army’s most arduous and difficult small unit tactics and leadership school, a course which only a few dare to attempt, and lets us feel it. A well-written story of overcoming adversity. Many life lessons in these pages.” – Retired General Martin E. Dempsey, 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
