Summary of Charlie A. Beckwith & Donald Knox's Delta Force

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was a hotshot Green Beret captain with Special Operations experience. I had served a tour two years earlier in Laos. I had been recruited to join the British Parachute Regiment, and I was expecting to pass along to our community information from the SAS.

#2 I was assigned to A Squadron, commanded by Major Peter Walter. I was taken to A Squadron Headquarters, where I was introduced to my temporary troop sergeant, Gypsy Smith. I was shocked by the condition of the barracks. It looked more like a football locker room than an army barracks.

#3 I was adrift in a world that I thought I knew. I couldn’t predict what would happen next in any given situation. Everything I had been taught about soldiering was turned upside down.

#4 I began to see the picture. The squadron was not playing games. They were deadly serious. They’d had a lot of experience, going back to World War II, whereas our own Army Special Forces hadn’t been established until 1954.
