A Night in the Pech Valley: A memoir of a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment in the Global War on Terrorism;

A Night in the Pech Valley is Grant McGarry's account of an operation in the most dangerous terrain for U.S. 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 ten thousand 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 in the Pech Valley. More than anything, this is the story of the Rangers who ferociously fought through the night and into the next morning. The intent of this book is to tell our story and the story of Army Ranger Christopher Shane Wright, who made the ultimate sacrifice on the morning of August 19, 2010. Despite being the main effort in the ongoing war in Afghanistan there have been very few stories released about the 75th Ranger Regiment. A Night in the Pech Valley fills that void, allowing the reader to know what it takes to become an Army Ranger and what life is like to be in the Army's premier special operations unit.
