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

by Charlie A. Beckwith, Donald Knox Narrated by Alan Sklar

Overview

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




With this call to arms, Charlie Beckwith revolutionized American armed combat. Beckwith's acclaimed memoir tells the story of 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.

Editorial Reviews

Armed Forces Journal

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.

Los Angeles Times

The Army’s most elite commando unit.

The Wall Street Journal

Absolutely compelling...nations without men like this simply don’t survive.

Washington Post

Delta Force is arguably the most effective fighting unit in the world.

New York Times

Delta Force, considered the equivalent of SEAL Team 6, are far more tight-lipped than the SEALs.
