About

We are delighted to be launching the latest book of Mir Bahmanyar! Mir has been a great friend to the Museum for some years and loves visiting Carrickfergus, the birthplace of the US Rangers, 19th June 2025
Highlighted by the prisoner-of-war escapes that earned them the name "The Houdini Club," here is the elite combat odyssey of World War II's "Darby's Rangers" as never told before—drawing on previously unknown sources and former Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar's exclusive, uncensored interviews with the greatest generation of Rangers themselves.
