They are the US Army's elite 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; and no book has ever taken readers inside - until now. Here, a founding member of Delta Force takes us behind the veil of secrecy and into the action - to expose the never-before-told story of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force).
In this dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney, one of the original members of Delta Force, takes us deep inside this legendary unit. Here, for the first time, are details of the gruelling selection process, designed to break the strongest of men, that singles out the perfect soldier, and then the years of training that turn him into the ultimate modern warrior that is the Delta Force Operator.
From fighting guerrillas in Honduras to providing 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 captures the daring and discipline that distinguish the men of Delta Force.
'Inside Delta Force' puts the reader right at the heart of the action and gives a breathtaking glimpse of a life that is as driven, inspiring and terrifying as they come.
