Detachment Delta: Punitive Strike: Warrior Brothers Wage Personal War Against Terrorism in an Elite Military Thriller

by Charles W. Sasser

The enemy has struck with no warning, destroying a U.S. fighting ship and taking Americans hostage. There are lives to be saved and a terrorist threat that must be diffused -- permanently -- so the men of Delta Force are on the move. America's first line of defense in the battle against terrorism, they are trained, armed, and ready to take the fight into the monster's stronghold. And for three heroic brothers born into a legendary warrior dynasty, the elimination of the #1 foe of the civilized world is more than a global imperative -- this war is personal.

[Ryan Hornish · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting perspective written right before and maybe slight after 9/11. Definitely shows its mindset but not a well written book in all honesty.
