The attacks of September 11, 2001, prompted the creation of a robust and deadly special operations force—Task Force Dagger. Alan C. Mack, Callsign Razor 03, led a team of MH-47E helicopters and armed MH-60s. Their two-fold mission–Personnel Recovery (PR) and Unconventional Warfare (UW) involved flying in terrain and weather previously not thought possible. If that wasn’t enough, they pushed the flight envelope of their specially modified Chinooks to the limit and beyond.

Mack shares his behind-the-scenes perspective of the Horse Soldier’s infill into Afghanistan. He discusses the hunt for Osama Bin Laden at Tora Bora and describes his shootdown during Operation Anaconda. Years later, he chased Bowe Bergdahl, rescued hostages in Iraq, and the U.S. Navy Seal "Lone Survivor" from the Kunar Valley.

Mack’s near-death experiences and frequent deployments not only affected him, but pushed his wife toward prescription opioids. Her developing addiction led to friction as he kept her secret and continued to deploy.

He lived by his unit’s motto, "Night Stalkers Don’t Quit!" He wouldn’t quit on his unit–he couldn’t quit on his family. His story of success, tragedy, and ultimate happiness is as old as warfare itself.

As I spent time in the Zurmat district, I enjoy hearing different views from Operation Anaconda. It's awesome to hear it from the man himself. Overall, great read!

Chief Alan Mack’s book was so great and more enjoyable because he read it. I am currently in flight school and this book inspired me, related to my past deployments and family concerns, I empathized with him and also so drawn into the conflicts, I wanted more. Great story, thank you for you Service and you set the standard for us younger pilots. God bless you and your family.

This is a deep story I thoroughly enjoyed. As enlisted AF I’ve grown to enjoy these stories and this one seems the most authentic I’ve heard to date. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a story of attrition and mental fortitude through a tough and glorious life.

Excellent story

There isn’t a thing I didn’t dislike about this book. And the fact the person who wrote it read it really gave more of a life to the book.
