Boots
on the Ground - The History of Project Delta New!
by Stephen A. Carpenter
Early in the Vietnam conflict the U.S. command structure recognized a
need for solid verifiable intelligence about enemy locations, movements
and tactics. Much of the enemy's covert activity was occurring in Laos
and Cambodia, areas where U.S. presence was not permitted. Project Delta
was the first successful unit that evolved to perform long range
reconnaissance and other counter insurgency missions deep in enemy
territory. Project Delta's operations remained classified until 1996.
For the first time, the history of this storied unit has been recorded
from volumes of declassified military documents and from hundreds of
hours of interviews conducted in 2009. The author is a former member of
the U.S. Army's Special Forces and was a recon team leader in Project
Delta.

The
Ether Zone by Ray C. Morris
Project Delta and its clandestine special reconnaissance operations
proved to be one of the most successful Special Operations units of the
Vietnam War, yet few Americans have ever heard of them. This small unit,
comprised of less than 100 U.S. Army Special Forces men, amassed a
record for bravery second to none. Now, for the first time, the Project
Delta "Quiet Professionals" finally share their story. Highly trained as
experts in special reconnaissance techniques and procedures, the covert
Project Delta missions were accomplished through recon team insertions
into enemy territory. The primary sources of intelligence collection for
Project Delta, these tough and tenacious men recount hair-raising
adventures. Enter the world of a highly classified project to learn what
makes U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers tick, and learn the legacy of
these men of honor, their breathtaking heroics, humility, humor,
camaraderie and brotherhood.
