Over preparation is a gift in an ideal world, although operationally that is not always the case. Intelligence can change by the minute; a firefight can change in seconds. All these are things that Delta operators train and prepare for, even if improvisation is all that you have left in a tactical situation. Something Delta has quickly become adept at since its inception. Post 9/11 JSOCs (Joint Special Operations Command) budget, capabilities and the collection of units has risen exponentially. Delta, along with other Special Forces have found themselves in almost constant demand since 9/11. This book is based on real operations in Afghanistan. Where the fast paced action is both gritty and graphical at times, as Delta Operators battle against overwhelming odds in a hostile land. Fighting a war hardened enemy with years of experience fighting occupying forces. Using Guerilla tactics and deadly IEDs to maim and kill as many coalition forces as they could. From the battle of Tora Bora, 10 weeks after 9/11 to the rescue of Helen Johnston the book gives a real insight into some fierce firefights and courageous rescue missions Delta undertook.
