Product ReviewsInside Delta Force : The Story of America's Elite Counterterrorist Unit by Eric Haney; (2007, Perfect)

Excellent introduction to Counterterrorism

I have already read the book. Wanted my own copy. The author's insider view helps you to feel as if you are traveling this history with him. This is history, there are special units all thru history, but this is a chance to read and study what it takes to stop terrorism. What he talks about is only a drop in the bucket. There are no vulgarities, no political rants, or we are the only good guys. He sticks to telling how he joined, what they did to reach the skills they needed to accomplish the missions. Very informative without giving away secrets. Highly recommended read.Read full review...

Tells you exactly what its like!

Eric Haney does an incredible job in this book of bringing you there and filling you in on all the details of the training and operations of an elite unit Delta Force. He gives you the necassary background and history of Delta Force and himself. Throughout the book he tells true stories of what it was like in different historical events from the veiw of an operative. From Beirut to Panama to different hostage situations he tells the plan and the execution of different situations.

He also begins by telling what the training and requirements were like. Just an incredible feat to be such an elite member.

Highly recommend this book to any one involved in or curious about our elite operations forces!Read full review...

Intriguing book about one of our most secretive military units.

A book that will bring you into the selection and training by one of the early Delta Force members. I have read it twice.

Inside Delta

Great writing. The book is engaging and gives as close a look into Delta as possible w/out breaching the integrity of the unit(s) and/or their security. The reviews that suggested Mr. Haney really liked talking about himself almost to the point of glorification are very misleading and easy to dissect upon reading the entire book. Bottom line... If you want a good read that's educational, entertaining and honest...? Buy this book.Read full review...

How intensive the delta force training is.

The book is very redundant about the extensive training the applicat goes through. I was expecting more and some stories on insight into actual missions. The TV series "The Unit" is supposevily based on this book. I did not see that. If interested in how Delta force was actual born get the book written by Col. Beckwith.Read full review...
