About this listen

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..

A look into the Ranger’s life

Excellent portrayal of what it is like to be a US Army Ranger and a look into the deployment life, the sacrifices, and the brotherhood. Highly recommend.

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!

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.
