About this title

Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling authors of In the Company of Heroes comes a thrilling account of military aviation for history buffs and "for those who love vivid tales of battlefield heroics" (Publishers Weekly).

In the world of covert warfare, Special Operations pilots are notoriously close-lipped about what they do. They don't talk about their missions to anyone outside their small community. But now, Michael J. Durant and Steven Hartov shed fascinating light on the mysterious elite commandos known as SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment) and take readers into a shadowy world of combat they have only imagined.
