The inspiration for the hit television series The Unit Delta Force. They are the US Army's most elite top-secret strike force. They dominate the modern battlefield, but you won't hear about their heroics on CNN. No headlines can reveal their top-secret missions, and no book has ever taken readers inside-until now. Here, a founding member of Delta Force takes us behind the veil of secrecy and into the action to reveal the never-before-told story of First Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force). He is a master of espionage, trained to take on hijackers, terrorists, hostage takers, and enemy armies. He can deploy by parachute or arrive by commercial aircraft, survive alone in hostile cities, speak foreign languages fluently, strike at enemy targets with stunning swiftness and extraordinary teamwork. He is the ultimate modern warrior: the Delta Force Operator. In this dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney, one of the founding members of Delta Force, takes us inside this legendary counterterrorist unit. Here, for the first time, are details of the grueling selection process-designed to break the strongest of men-that singles out the best of the best: the Delta Force Operator. With heart-stopping immediacy, Haney tells what it's really like to enter a hostage-held airplane. And from his days in Beirut, Haney tells an unforgettable tale of bodyguards and bombs, of a day-to-day life of madness and beauty, and of how he and a teammate are called on to kill two gunmen targeting US Marines at the Beirut airport. As part of the team sent to rescue American hostages in Tehran, Haney offers a first-person description of that failed mission that is a chilling, compelling account of a bold maneuver undone by chance-and a few fatal mistakes. From fighting guerrilla warfare in Honduras to rescuing missionaries in Sudan and leading the way onto the island of Grenada, Eric Haney captures the daring and discipline that distinguish the men of Delta Force. Inside Delta Force brings honor to these singular men while it puts us in the middle of around-the-world action that is sudden, frightening, and nonstop.

Good Read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked how the author mixed just enough of the emotional, technical aspects of a job, and intrigue to keep me interested. The book gave me a glimpse into a world so different from my own. We owe our respect to all our military personnel for the work they do.

Enjoying the book
Great reading! The only complaint is some of the pages' print was faint and difficult to read. I don't recall that being mentioned in the description.

A gripping experience.
A consistent and captivating true story about men who have exceptional iniative and the abilty turn any situation to their advantage. A story of me who embark to combat with great risk and very little margin for error. Challenging selection process and versatile training take the men of special force operations all over the world's troble spots to clandestine missions and if all goes well no one will never know they were there. No medals awarded, no parade held, just the job done! A salute to all special force operators and their exeptional ability to endure and survive.
