Inside Delta Force

Editorial Review

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, but here, one of the founding members of Delta Force lifts the veil of secrecy and takes the reader into the action - to reveal the story of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force). In this behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney takes the reader inside this legendary unit from the beginning. He provides details of the grueling selection process, designed to break the strongest of men, that singles out the perfect soldier, and then the years of training that turns him into the modern warrior that is the Delta Force Operator. From fighting guerrilla warfare in Honduras to close VIP protection in Beirut, from rescuing missionaries in Sudan to the abortive attempt to extract American hostages from Tehran, and leading the way onto the island of Grenada, Eric Haney aims to capture the daring and discipline that distinguish the men of Delta Force. "Inside Delta Force" aims to put the reader right at the heart of the action and gives a glimpse of a life that is as driven, inspiring and terrifying as they come.

• Page Turner
  This is a page turner. It reads almost like a novel but it's a true story. There's a lot of time spent on training portion but it's really good.
  I first got this for my wife after we started watching "The Unit" (season one). She read it right away. I finally got around to reading it and I wish I'd read it sooner. The TV show incorporates a lot of the advanced training used (even paintballers will recognize some urban-warfare tactics used, although that's downplayed in the book).
• A Must Read for a First Hand Look at Delta Force

  simplified version for younger readers presents a complete picture

  ops, both... more info
• Excellent book
  You really get the insider's view with this book. The author does an AMAZING job of making you feel like you're living the life of a Special Forces soldier, right there with him.
• Haney don't blame the Navy!
  Shame on you Haney for blaming the Navy for that Desert 1 fiasco. There should have been Army mechanics servicing those choppers, not Navy guys who had never seen a sand filter before, after all not much sand when flying over water.For the casual reader, those were new helicopters with just enough hours on them to be broken in and be proven combat worthy.They were Army birds serviced by Navy mechanics aboard the carriers.They were getting "bad gas millage" compared to comparable Navy Helios.Wondering why?... more info
