Story
We March at Midnight is award-winning author Ray McPadden’s chronicle of his experience as a highly decorated Ranger officer leading some of the most dangerous missions during the height of the Iraq and Afghan wars. In 2005, Ray joined the army in search of what he calls “the moment” - a chance to prove to himself and his brothers in arms that he is a true leader. His job is to establish the first outpost in the Korengal, Afghanistan’s deadliest valley, and his decisions and mistakes will have a permanent impact on the men he commands.

Story
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.

At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

Craig Harrison has what it takes, and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill - 2,475 metres, the length of 25 football pitches.

Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

America has one force with the single mission of direct action to capture or kill the enemy. That force is the 75th Ranger Regiment. Staff Sergeant Paul Martinez was a Ranger Sniper with the 75th Rangers during the desperate fighting in Afghanistan in 2011 when the United States made the decision to try to withdraw from Afghanistan. It was never going to be easy. There were still a large number of senior Taliban and al Qaeda leaders and other terrorists in secure locations throughout that country.

In 2003, the Special Forces soldiers entered an area later called "the most dangerous place in Afghanistan". Here, where the line between civilians and armed zealots was indistinct, they illustrated the Afghan proverb "I destroy my enemy by making him my friend." Fry recounts how they were seen as welcome guests rather than invaders. Soon after their deployment ended, the Pech Valley reverted to turmoil. Their success was never replicated.

Publisher's Summary
Level Zero Heroes, Michael Golembesky's best-selling account of Marine Special Operations Team 8222 in Bala Murghab, Afghanistan, was just the beginning for these now battle-hardened special operations warriors.
The unforgiving Afghan winter settled upon the 22 men of Marine Special Operations Team 8222, call sign Dagger 22, in the remote and hostile river valley of Bala Murghab, Afghanistan. The Taliban fighters in the region would have liked nothing more than to once again go dormant and rest until the new spring fighting season began. No chance of that - this winter would be different.
Along with Afghan and International Security Forces (NATO), the marines of Dagger 22 continued their fight throughout the harsh winter to shape the battlefield before the Afghan ground began to thaw. From one firefight to the next, the noose began to tighten around the village of Daneh Pasab and the Taliban command cell operating there. On April 6, 2010, a ground force consisting of US Army Special Forces, Afghan commandos, and Marine Corps special operations conducted a night assault to destroy the heavily entrenched Taliban force, breaking their grip on the valley and stopping the spring offensive before it even began.
But nothing in Bala Murghab comes easily, and combat operations wear on the operators of Dagger 22 as they lean on each other once again in order to complete their mission in one of the most brutal environments on earth.

Great book and great story. SF
Where does Dagger 22 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It ranks pretty high on my list, the story is great and reminds me of my time in Iraq and Afghanistan.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator is one of the worst ones I have heard. His voice is super annoying and almost made me stop listening. He tried too hard to add gruff to his voice.

Yet anther account of Men fighting for each other and standing against evil. The story gives a no bullshit point of view to modern warfare where every General can watch Men on the ground and arm chair Quarterback without reguard to the people they control.

Seriously?
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I can not think of anyone
Has Dagger 22 put you off other books in this genre?
No not really.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Tiredness.
Any additional comments?
The story is simply about a soldier and his experiences, which I'm sure are true and harsh. However the story told is bloated, repetitive and the narrators huge effort to make the book sound interesting made it sound like a never ending hammy intro to a B movie. Try the sample before purchasing. This is no reflection at all about the solder, but I am saddened how his effort to share his experiences have been let down by the poor content and narrator.

Good Listen - Eventually
Really struggled with the narrator for the first 3rd of the book. Kept over emphasising final words in sentences. Suspect he was trying to add atmosphere but nearly put me off enough to stop listenin. Thankfully he improves until he tries the female voice. Did take away from what would have been a much better story and listen

Good story- awful narration
The story is well written and does give an insight to the experiences however the narrator seems intent on providing a sense of tension by affecting a 1950s cowboy whisper, it doesn’t add anything and made what would have been an enjoyable listen seem slightly contrived and played for effect. A shame but think the hard copy would have been a better purchase.

One of the best accounts of afghanistan
'ski writes a gritty tale in great detail that honours the men he served with and shows his patriotism 100%. it's soul destroying to hear of the lives lost both UK and American for what seems like a pointless war. still, it's what keeps the American war machine and industry going, much to the future generations lack of understanding and unfortunate socialist views, it begs pause for thought what future and influence does the USA hold as a world superppwer‽

An Interesting Account
An enjoyable book overall but the narrator for me was a bit too over the top with his style of describing the combat scenarios. It made it a bit difficult to absorb what the author intended but all personal observations are subjective and what I found annoying others might not.
