"From the authors of the New York Times bestselling In the Company of Heroes come the thrilling, never-before-heard stories of the ARmy's elite aviation unit, the most daring and professional helicopter crews in the world. In his first book, Michael Durant told his harrowing tale of being shot down in his Blackhawk over Mogadishu and being held captive by a Somali warlord. It was a remarkable account, particularly because Special Operations pilots are notoriously reticent - they don't talk about their missions, at least nont to anyone outside their small community. But now, with the publication of The Night Stalkers, Durant and Steven Hartov shed a fascinating light on these mysterious supercommandos, and take readers into a world they have only imagined. Born out of the failed attempt to rescue American hostages in Iran in 1980, the 160th SOAR(A) was created to meet the urgent needs of Special Forces, Rangers, and classified Special Operations teams, as the face of global conflict shifted toward a growing threat of terrorism and counterinsurgency warfare. Specifically trained in grueling, long-range night operations and lightning strikes, these "Night Stalkers" would work in concert with their warrior "customers," and undertake missions deemed impossible by confentional aviators. Over the following decades, this secret, elite unit of incomparable pilots and crews saw action from Grenada and Panama to Iraq and Somalia, and went from almost being disbanded in its infancy to emerging as the most precise Special Operations aviation machine in existence. In the global War on Terror, the Night Stalkers were first to bring the fight to the enemy, striking at the Taliban and Al-Qaeda through extremely treacherous mountain terrain and forbidding conditions in Afghanistan. In Iraq, the 160th launched the war with secret operations to disable the enemy's defenses, and the unit continues to play a pivotal role in every corner of the globe where the United States' Special Operators engage in close-quarters combat. Throughout the world, over oceans and in deserts, in jungles and on mountain peaks, the Night Stalkers have been at the point of the spear and in the thick of combat, delivering and supporting Special Ops teams to any target, in all weeather, night or day. They are the best of the best, and here for the first time are their hair-raising true stories of battle, courage, victory, and loss." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "Durant's experience is one of the most harrowing in the history of the American military, and one of the most compelling ever told." - Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down. "The author does not pull any punches .His story is one of great bravery, of going to hell and making it back alive." - The Indianapolis Star. "Durant's heroism shoudl be read by every American. I was thrilled and moved by this book." - Ross Perot. "The heroic narrative of a brave and selfless soldier." - General Gordon R. Sullivan, U.S. Army (ret.). "A revealing portrait of the human face of war." - Publishers Weekly. "Exceptionally written." - Bookreporter dot com.
