My wife and I watch the TV show The Unit every week.  It is a great mix of military drama and human interest that makes the show a good marriage saver.  Inside Delta Force is the book that the show is based on.  It is interesting that the show never mentions the fact that is Delta Force involved, which is probably for the best due to the way Hollywood has inaccurately portrayed this unit in the past.

This is an autobiography of Sgt Major Eric Haney, one of the original members of Delta Force, from the time of his selection to his retirement.  Obviously, there is not much detail about actual missions accomplished, as I am sure many of them are still highly classified.  But the selection and training stories were riveting enough.  He also included the best description of the Iran Hostage Rescue attempt in 1980 that I have ever read.  His insights as one from the inside was remarkable.

Inside Delta Force is an excellent read from a citizen soldier in our time.  He spends very little time discussing political motivations, disgust of superior officiers or denegrating fellow combatants except where integral to the story at hand.  I really enjoyed this read and recommend it to anyone that is the least bit interested in Special Forces during our generation.  It is a very interesting insight behind the scenes of many of the big news stories in the '80s and '90s, especially the Beirut Barracks attack, Panama, Grenada, and the Iran Hostage incident.
