The Night Stalkers: Top Secret Missions of the U.S. Army's Special Operations Aviation Regiment

Night Stalkers grips you and hangs on. Durant's Faith in his God and his fellow soldiers is inspiring. The only "survivor book" that tops it is Marcus Lutrell's "Lone Survivor".

This is a excellent account of the early history of those visionaries who brought the 160th into being. The short bio of each individual serves to underscore the tenacity of the founding Night Stalkers, and those who man the Regiment today. "Night Stalkers Don't Quit!" is not just another catchy slogan, it's a way of life within the Regiment at all levels. It's really a shame that the American taxpayer cannot see all they are getting for their tax dollars from the members of the 160th, and the units they support. SPEC OPS is perhaps the biggest bang for the buck in the military today. I'm glad some of the declassified missions were able to come to the light of day. NSDQ! Night Stalker 1986 - 1998

This book is a great read! What these soldiers can do is amazing. I had to read this because my son is a new Night Stalker. I can't help but well up with pride and fear because I now have an idea of what the Night Stalkers can do.

This is the kind of book that get you reading for hours. Already among my favourites. I think this is one of the most descriptive accounts about what the Night Stalkers do and a very detailled description of the few missions that can be talked about. An excellent book.

I have just finished this book in a great 4 night read. I found the book to be well written, exciting and a great tribute to the men and families of the Night Stalkers. I served at Fort Campbell as an Army Surgeon during the creation of this unit (1980-81) and saw the first "Little Bird" conversions. One of the authors (LtCol Bob Johnson) was my guide on that day. Until then, I had never seen a helicopter with seats on the OUTSIDE! My thanks to the authors for providing insight into a very secret and special military unit and some of its famous operations. My family and I are glad that we have the men and the will to create, deploy and support a unit such as this. I hope that we can all learn what it means to be an American from this book and the Night Stalkers. Read this book - you will not be disappointed! NSDQ Doug McConnell, M.D. Long Beach, CA
