While talking about career aspirations with a fellow Army CID Special Agent who just transferred to our office, she mentioned her desire to one day become a Park Ranger. When "Ranger Confidential" popped up in my Amazon "Recommended For You" list the next day, I passed along the info to my colleague. A couple of days later I decided to buy this book myself, and I'm very glad that I did.Former National Park Service Ranger Andrea Lankford wrote a very powerful, affecting account of her experiences, co-workers, family and friends during a decade and a half spent serving in our National Parks. She could have told her story in a very superficial, macho, "There I was" fashion, and the anecdotes would have been entertaining, but still nothing special. Instead, Ms. Lankford took the more courageous path, sharing not only what she and her fellow Rangers did, but how they were affected physically and emotionally. Even though I am aware first-hand of the toll being a first responder exacts on our minds and bodies, reading "Ranger Confidential" still hit me like a punch to the gut. My palms sweated while Ms. Lankford recounted rescues and recoveries in the Grand Canyon and Yosemite; one incident she described occurred at the same time my wife and I were riding mules down to Phantom Ranch. I remember thinking at the time, "I sure wouldn't want to be the one having to rappel down those sheer cliffs!" That time-honored definition of courage: "Being scared to death but doing the task anyway" was never more apt when describing what Park Rangers volunteer to do with terrible frequency.Some Amazon reviewers have negatively commented about Ms. Lankford's frank commentary on "Ranger Burnout" and Critical Incident Stress among law enforcement Park Rangers. For me, those revelations are what vaulted this book from "Ordinary" to "Truly Special". There are very few who can continually put themselves in harm's way to rescue people who make dumb choices without becoming cynical, and often just plain pissed off. Clearly, most Rangers respect their surroundings and value the ethic of personal responsibility and preparedness, and they respect park visitors who do the same. Ms. Lankford adeptly communicated the sense of frustration, guilt, and even passive-aggressive behavior Rangers have to control when confronted daily by people determined to become victims. The cumulative stress resulting from continually seeing gruesome injuries and deaths pretty much will wear anyone down. Add in the constant risk from human and natural hazards, and even the toughest Ranger can get ground down."Ranger Confidential" honors us readers by letting us see behind the tan and green facade, at the human beings who have earned the right to wear the "Smokey Bear Stetson". Ms. Lankford's tribute to a fellow Ranger simultaneously brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face; I've read none finer."Ranger Confidential" should be required reading for anyone, male or female, considering employment as a National Park Service Ranger. It wouldn't hurt if most park visitors also were exposed to the valuable lessons Ms. Lankford shares. For everyone else, I believe you will gain a deep appreciation and respect for the men and women who serve in our National Park Service, whether it's at Mount Rainier, Yosemite, Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty.

In this day and age of self published works, it becomes almost shocking when you read two different books - one written by an author in over his(her) head and one written by a very good author. Andrea Lankford is the latter - she is a very good author. It has been an absolute pleasure to read Lankford's book, "Ranger Confidential". I really enjoyed reading her book; I laughed, I smiled, I pictured the places she describes and the incidents she reports easily in my head. She does a very good job painting the picture with her words and I really enjoyed her writing style. I found myself chuckling more than once. She relays very good stories, discusses deeper issues within the National Park Service and tells stories of other rangers while never sounding whiny, condescending or preachy. As someone angling toward a second career as a seasonal park ranger, I've been reading several books about rangers. The first two were not very well written, never drew me in as a reader and came across as whiny and negative. Lankford is simply a good writer, and it makes the book much more enjoyable to read. Instead of waiting for the book to just end already, I was looking forward to picking it up each time and reading it, not really all that excited for it to end. That is the sign of a good, well written book. With too many poorly written books out there, it's been a pleasure read Lankford's intriguing book about National Park Service rangers and her career.

I rarely write reviews, may it be on products or literature, I find I have very little to say beyond "it works" or "it was good". I often feel unless something has had an impact on me I am being dishonest were I to promote it. This book, however, is exceptional.It is hard to put into a few sentences how meaningful this record is. The lessons on life that can be gleaned are at times overwhelming. I can not recall an account of events as moving and heartfelt as is written here. There are few moments in my life I have read a story (either fact or fiction), and became so connected to the people, I felt as though I had made and lost friends. I left this adventure with a profound desire to meet and speak with all of the people involved.This is an excellent read, an incredible journey and a damn fine book all around. I highly recommend it, and hope you find it as enjoyable and heart wrenching as I do.

Ranger Confidential is a collection of true stories based on 12 years working in America’s most famous parks, such as the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite. Everyday life for rangers includes firefighting, law enforcement, search and rescue, saving people’s lives, protecting flora and fauna, fending off assaults, and identifying hikers’ distress symptoms.The tales are funny, sad, tragic, and extraordinary. The park rangers are dedicated, loyal, calm, honest, courageous, flabbergasted, disillusioned, and tired. Who knew so much happened in the parks?A ranger’s life is not a walk in the park, especially when dealing with alcoholic hikers, people undertaking illegal activities, criminals hiding out, people using the park as a garbage dump, and people who don’t want to be saved. And dealing with scorpions, snakes, bears and other wild animals.Lankford doesn’t beat about the bush when she narrates the good, the bad, and the ugly of park ranging. It’s an interesting read.

Andrea... WOW! This was a solid book. Great read. Excellent ability to get you right into the action and into the lives and experiences of the NPS Rangers and staff. It brought back a lot of great memories from my own time with NPS back in the 90's. Underfunded and underappreciated.Get this book. Read this book. If you want to know about the life of a Ranger, this is great insight.
