Inhaltsangabe

"Absolutely compelling... Nations without men like Beckwith simply don't survive." — Wall Street Journal

Wanted: Volunteers for Project Delta. Will guarantee you a medal. A body bag. Or both.

The definitive insider's account of the U.S. Army's most elite and secretive special-ops unit, written by the legendary founder and first commanding officer of Delta Force

When Charlie Beckwith issued this call to arms in Vietnam in 1965, he revolutionized American armed combat. This is the story of what would eventually come to be known as Delta Force, as only its maverick creator could tell it--from the bloody baptism of Vietnam to the top-secret training grounds of North Carolina to political battles in the upper levels of the Pentagon itself.


This is the heart-pounding, first-person, insider’s view of the missions that made Delta Force legendary, including a brutally honest account of their most famous defeat: the failed rescue of the Iranian hostages. Thought it all, the reader will become much better acquainted with America’s deadliest weapon.
