Delta Force Summary

Delta Force: A Memoir by the Founder of the U.S. Military's Most Secretive Special-Operations Unit by Charlie A Beckwith

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.

Delta Force Reviews

Delta Force, considered the equivalent of SEAL Team 6, are far more tight-lipped than the SEALs. -- New York Times Delta Force is arguably the most effective fighting unit in the world. -- Washington Post Absolutely compelling...nations without men like this simply don't survive. -- The Wall Street Journal The Army's most elite commando unit. -- Los Angeles Times A page turner. ... Hard to put down. ... One of those rare books that military people will annotate and underline and hesitate ever to lend out. ... Beckwith's candor is extraordinary. -- Armed Forces Journal
