For years they were so secretive most people thought they were a myth. For decades their actions in the fight for freedom were unknown and unheralded. Even today the government officially denies their existence. But anyone who follows the United States military knows the truth: DELTA FORCE is America's deadliest weapon.

When Charlie Beckwith issued this call to arms in Vietnam in 1965, he revolutionized American armed combat. This is the story of what would eventually come to be known as Delta Force, as only its maverick creator could call it--from the bloody baptism of Vietnam to the top-secret training grounds of North Carolina to the political battles in the upper levels of the Pentagon itself. This is the heart-pounding, first person, insider's view of the missions that made Delta Force legendary, including a brutally honest account of their most infamous defeat: the failed rescue of the Iranian hostages.
