36-Year Hudson Valley Veteran Shares View of Special Operations in New Book

Razor 03: A Night Stalker’s Wars

All C. Mack (Ret)

Alan C Mack (Ret), a highly decorated special operations aviator, shares untold stories and perspectives of combat from the cockpit in a soon-to-be-released book by Pen and Sword Publishing, available now for pre-order at booksellers nationwide, and available in September.

Just hours after the September 11th deadly attacks, Mack joined a select group of operators chosen to plan and implement America’s response to the Al Qaeda threat.  His significant and dramatic work as flight lead in the Horse Soldier’s infill into Afghanistan tested his fearless skill in flying through terrain and weather previously not thought possible, even with specially modified Chinooks.

In Razor 03: A Night Stalker’s Wars, Mack describes what it meant to serve the nation as a member of the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.  In detail, he accounts for tireless training and missions including his work in the hunt for Usama Bin Laden at Tora Bora, rescuing hostages in Iraq and the Lone Survivor from the Kunar Valley, and even being shot down during Operation Anaconda.

Not only in combat, but this Night Stalker’s story also takes readers through the deep journey of a different kind of war: opioids and alcohol.  Shielding his wife’s depression and addictions while he served, Mack opens up to the struggles of keeping her secret, the friction that unfolded, the crushing sadness and tragedy, and the support that led to his personal redemption.

Lauding reviews of Razor 03: A Night Stalker’s Wars have come from military leaders such as General David H. Petraeus (Ret), Admiral William H. McRaven US (Ret); and Medal of Honor Recipient Britt K. Slabinski, US Navy (Ret).

Bestselling author reviews include Jim DeFelice – AMERICAN SNIPER; Doug Stanton – HORSE SOLDIERS; Steven Hartov – IN THE COMPANY OF HEROES; Taya Kyle – AMERICAN WIFE; Sean Naylor – RELENTLESS STRIKE and others.
