The Night Stalkers: Top Secret Missions of the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Aviation Regiment
by Michael J. Durant, Steven Hartov, Lt. Col. Robert L. Johnson (2008-01-02)
average customer review: 
(19)
Three authors, all army veterans, join forces for this history of their service's Special Aviation Regiment. It first went to war in Grenada in 1983 and since then has flown, usually by night, hence the name Night Stalkers, everywhere army special-ops troops have needed to be delivered and supported.

Burton’s new office consisted of three men: the author, another new recruit, and the boss, a no-nonsense career man who had been trying to combat all the world’s terrorists single-handedly.
