Delta Force: United States Counter Terrorist Unit and the Iranian Hostage Rescue Mission by Beckwith, Charlie A. And Donald Knox. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780853686231.

The definitive insiders account of the U.S. Armys most elite and secretive special-ops unit, written by the legendary founder and first commanding officer of Delta Force 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. Beckwiths acclaimed memoir tells the story of Delta Force ("the Armys most elite commando unit."— Los Angeles Times ) 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, insiders view of the missions that made Delta Force legendary.
