Delta Force : a memoir by the founder of the U.S. military's most secretive special-operations unit / First Commanding Officer of Delta Force, Charlie A. Beckwith and Donald Knox ; with an epilogue by C.A. Mobley.
MILITARY HISTORY. Wanted: Volunteers for Project Delta. Will guarantee you a medal. A body bag. Or both. 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. Through it all, the reader will become much better acquainted with America's deadliest weapon.
