There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. This book has been redacted from its original publication. It lacks all of the mission details from the original publication yet has no "second edition" or "edited copy" notice anywhere on the book Very disappointed and somewhat aghast that the book could be redacted in such a way, makes you wonder what powers that be would want this? There was a fair bit of indirect criticism of the CIA and American foreign policy in the first edition It also gave some really cool behind the Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.
A massive read and look into the Delta Force.

I actually just used the Audible version of this and was intrigued with the subject matter. Was blown away by what I learned i. Listening to it as one big story was a great experience. I felt connected to the people and could visualize the journey! The cream of the crop? So secret that no one knows where you work or what you do? It was an excellent inside read on the beginnings of "Delta Force" by a key player who was there.
Seeing as how Delta was modeled after the British SAS I was pleased to see "our guys" putting just as much effort into finding low tech common sense solutions to solving terrorist scenarios oft times avoiding the American penchant for unnecessary, but, big, sexy, expensive technology. Haney shows the importance that the unit places in not being "a breed apart" but as a force multiplier for the Green Berets, the Rangers, and the infantry. The variety of skills the Deltas amass tier one expertise in is truly impressive. I better understand now what the Delta operator meant on T.
They are very close mouthed on the subject. I do, however, understand the wisdom of not going Hollywood like the Navy Seals. Their lives can be on the line. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. This book fills in a few questions.
I decided to read this book because every time I stumble across the TV show "The Unit," I really enjoy the show and I thought I would enjoy reading the book that serves as its basis. I was not disappointed, this was a very enjoyable book. As a memoir, there's no real formal plot to follow, but Haney does a great job of creating a narrative flow that makes sense. The reader is guided through the creation of Delta Force from the perspective of a member seeking admission.
Readers learn about how the selection process works gradually, just like Haney does as he's going through it. Once on the force, Haney guides the reader through the intense training required to prepare for real-world missions. Finally, Haney takes the reader through several early Delta Force missions, demonstrating how all the selection and training was essential to creating a team that was able to effectively respond to worldwide threats. I'm not a military buff, and I appreciated that the book was written in such a way that was accessible to me. I learned enough about the military to properly frame the events described, but not so much that it was completely overwhelming and took away from the narrative.
Additionally, much of what Haney describes with respect to discipline, training, honor, dedication, etc. From that standpoint, there is much in that book that is generally inspirational. As I read, I highlighted several passages.
Book Review: INSIDE DELTA FORCE
Haney's matter-of-fact observation on winning versus losing battles struck me as interesting and true: The victors just happen to lose less than the vanquished. Haney's observation on how to improve an organization struck me as applicable to a business setting as to the military: But it is a process that must be fundamentally rooted in trust and mutual respect. The very instant it becomes a weapon rather than a lens for diagnostic analysis, the process is dead. This is how teams are successfully built and strengthened, and is something that the business world would do well to take note of.
A note about the Kindle edition: For the print version, I don't know how the photos are presented in the book, but it's somewhat awkward in the Kindle version. They photos are stuck at the very back of the text, with no explanation or indication that they are there, and appear to simply be a direct representation of the photo page. I think the formatting of those photos could be improved. As far as the text goes, it was formatted for the Kindle just fine.

Do I recommend this book? This book is different. Speak foreign languages fluently. Strike at enemy targets with stunning swiftness and extraordinary teamwork. He is the ultimate modern warrior: In this dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle, Eric Haney, one of the founding members of Delta Force, takes us inside this legendary counterterrorist unit.
Here, for the first time, are details of the grueling selection process--designed to break the strongest of men--that singles out the best of the best: With heart-stopping immediacy, Haney tells what it's really like to enter a hostage-held airplane. And from his days in Beirut, Haney tells an unforgettable tale of bodyguards and bombs, of a day-to-day life of madness and beauty, and of how he and a teammate are called on to kill two gunmen targeting U.
Marines at the Beirut airport. As part of the team sent to rescue American hostages in Tehran, Haney offers a first-person description of that failed mission that is a chilling, compelling account of a bold maneuver undone by chance--and a few fatal mistakes. From fighting guerrilla warfare in Honduras to rescuing missionaries in Sudan 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 brings honor to these singular men while it puts us in the middle of action that is sudden, frightening, and nonstop around the world. Product details Format Paperback pages Dimensions People who bought this also bought. Schindler's Ark flipback edition Thomas Keneally.
