MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteRanger Games: A Story of Soldiers, Family and an Inexplicable Crime, by Ben Blum (Anchor, $16.95) “Ranger Games is a fascinating examination of family, duty, psychology, and crime. Ben Blum’s cousin Alex wanted one thing in life, to be a U.S. Army Ranger, but after completing the program and right before his first deployment, he seemingly inexplicably wound up driving the getaway car for an armed bank robbery with three other Rangers. Blum digs deep into his cousin’s story and the culture of the Rangers to find out why and how, and the result is a riveting, thought-provoking book.” —Cody Morrison, Square Books, Oxford, MS
