The force code-named Delta was formed of America’s soldier elite and designed to fight terrorism with lightning speed and surgical precision. Forged in the maelstrom of Vietnam, honed on top-secret training grounds in the United States, and disastrously misused in the deserts of Iran, Delta Force is a radical new weapon for a radically different kind of warfare. Now, Colonel Charlie A. Beckwith – the soldier who conceived Delta Force, supervised its training, and led its most famous mission – tells an unforgettable story and reveals how Delta Force may combat terrorism and fight the dirty wars of the future… Condition: creased spine from reading, light shelf wear; excellent non-fiction witness’ account of war.
