Here are thrilling, never-before-heard stories of the Army's elite aviation unit - the most daring and professional helicopter crews in the world.

Special Operations pilots are notoriously reticent; they don't talk about their missions, at least not 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 super commandos and take readers into a world they have only imagined.

From Iran to Grenada to Iraq, the 160th SOAR (A) has been at the point of the spear and in the thick of combat, delivering and supporting Delta operators, Rangers, and SEAL teams around the globe, in all weather, night or day. Simply put, they are the best of the best, and here for the first time are their hair-raising true stories of battle, capture, victory, and loss.

Absolutely loved this book, incredible to listen to. A narration was very good and the story of missions are gripping. This is a must listen to book if you love the military or at minimum love the excitement of piloting helicopters.

incredible mission stories.

The complaints about the narration are just flat out wrong. It was narrated well in my opinion.
A few times the way the story jumped around from character to character was a bit confusing at times. Overall a definite yes on this book.
The Army and the US finally got things right with the formation of Delta force and the Task force 160. It's a shame it took us so long.

Very riveting book
