About this listen
Delta Force—the US Army’s most elite top-secret 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 reveal the never-before-told story of First Special Forces Operational Detachment-D (Delta Force).
He is a master of espionage, trained to take on hijackers, terrorists, and enemy armies. He can deploy by parachute or arrive by commercial aircraft, survive alone in hostile cities, speak foreign languages fluently, strike at enemy targets with stunning swiftness and extraordinary teamwork. He is the ultimate modern warrior: the Delta Force operator.
In this dramatic 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. From his days in Beirut, he tells a remarkable 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 US Marines at an 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, 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 around-the-world action that is sudden, frightening, and nonstop.

Very good read
The narrator was not the best. I liked Rob O’Neil as a narrator far better.

Authentic. Loved it!
This was a great book to listen to and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story was authentic and real, gritty but never over the top, tough without being excessively macho, and human. The author related his experiences well andshowed his humanity, his successes and failures, in an honest down-to-earth way.
The narrator was clear and took on the persona of the writer. He had excellent intonation and added accents and voice changes to bring the characters to life.

Captivating all the way.
Feels like I lived a whole life of adventure through his experiences. Just amazing. I would have done this whole book in one go if it weren't for my life getting in the way!

Exactly as advertised
This book was a good listen. I expected a story about a guy who was part of the early days of delta force and what he experienced thereafter, and that’s what was delivered. Well paced and kept my attention the whole time.

Bit of a snoozer
I struggled to get through some parts. narrator is monotonous. wayyyy to much detail for certain parts, I don't care the the doorway was exactly 80 inches high and swings at approximately 87 degrees . book could have been a lot shorter with the same stories...
