A Night in the Pech Valley

A Memoir of a Member of the 75th Ranger Regiment in the Global War on Terrorism

By: Grant McGarry

Narrated by: Corey M. Snow

A Night in the Pech Valley is Grant McGarry's account of what it takes to become an Army Ranger and what life is like in the 75th Ranger Regiment. More importantly, it is about an operation in the most dangerous terrain for US forces anywhere in the world. The Pech Valley is surrounded by Taliban-filled mountains on the Pakistan border in the Kunar Province, where the mountain peaks push 10,000 feet. On the night of August 18, 2010, a platoon of Army Rangers were on a direct action raid to capture or kill a high value target, and this is the story of the Rangers who ferociously fought through the night and into the next morning. A Night in the Pech Valley is dedicated to Army Ranger, SPC Christopher Shane Wright, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Pech Valley on the morning of August 19th, 2010.

To the best light infantry in the world!

To the American Spartan, the U.S. Army Ranger. A story of determination and reality of what direct action units are seeing and acting in Iraq and Afghanistan. To the institution, no better place than Columbus, Georgia is where these warriors are made..

RANGER UP! Then buy this book

If this doesn't get your blood stirred up, I don't know what will.
I enjoy these style of books.
I'm a wounded veteran also. However, I was so far separated from legitimate action, I couldn't even compare my career in the military with these heroes.
Thank you for your service.
The story flows great, allowing the opportunity for the reader to gain all the info needed for the story. (The writer didn't deliver too much info to make it boring or too complicated)
As a reader it's easy to read this story and be entertained and go on to the next book. The author created this book for that. However, the larger picture was these are Americans, Heroes, Lives lost, Real human bodies injured. Let's don't skip that part by. Even if it's just taking a quiet moment to remember them. Let never forget our heroes!

No words

Great book, well worth the read. Rest Easy Rangers. Brought me back to my tour in Koyghani OIF X

Phenomenal read

I appreciate the author sharing his story, the regiment has a proud tradition and legacy. Rltw

Great, fast paced read!

This book has almost ZERO “down time”! Very fast paced, and lots of stories… with just enough detail to understand what’s going on, but not too much to get bogged down.
