Delta: America's Elite Counterterrorist Force (Power)

11 reviews
Terry Griswold

Zenith Press, 2005

A Good, Solid, History of DELTA
This is a good, solid, history of DELTA. Note that I say "history." In it the reader will find a discussion of the unit's creation, its weapons and equipment, the selection process and training of troopers, and the rotary and fixed-wing assets available to DELTA. The book ends with two chapters examining DELTA's role in Desert Shield and Desert Storm (especially hunting Iraqi Scud missile ...

Fast paced and thrilling love story

Jack Bauer: Wild Card
I'm a big fan of Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer character on the television show 24. I like the way Bauer is driven to get the job done no matter what, no matter who gets hurt. It sets him up as great flawed hero among his family and peers, but all of us who love the character know the price he's paying to stop the bad guys. I also have to admit that I can't stand waiting from week to week ...

Delta, 2005

great book, great shape
This is an awesome book, by a no nonsense guy, who has been there and done that. The book came quickly, and for a great price. It was new, and with no marks, and the binding was as if it never had been opened. Thanks for a great book!

Delta Force: The Army's Elite Counterterrorist Unit

Delta Force
Easy reading; interesting how a new unit has difficulty in coming of age in the armed forces; read this first then follow it up with "Inside Delta Force" which will give more information on what it took for an individual to function within the Unit.

Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team

George Jonas

Simon & Schuster, 2005

An eye-opener on the nature of counter-terrorism
I read "Notes on a controversy" at the end of the book first, because this justification of the text by the author deals with the issue of veracity. The book has apparently been attacked on this score, and of course the very nature of the subject excludes the possibility of total and certain verification of all the facts, but the author makes a convincing case of the techniques he used in ...

The Specialist: Revelations of Counterterrorist

2 reviews
Gayle Rivers

Stein And Day, 1985

non-fictionally interesting
I like reading non-fiction military type books, but when you come across something like this; the authors name is changed to protect his identity and other places and events might also be changed to protect others identities; you have to ask yourself, is the author telling the truth or is he just a fabulous B.S.er. I believe this book is a true story for two reasons. First, the writing is not ...

Framing Security Agendas: U.S. Counterterrorist Policies and Southeast Asian Responses
Rosemary Foot

East-West Center, 2008

What has it meant to be labeled the second-front in the global war on terror? Have Southeast Asian states accepted that the primary threat their countries face is Al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist violence, or are other security concerns deemed more pressing? This study investigates threat perception in four Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. It probes the extent to which their security concerns align with ...

The Citizen's Guide to Stopping Suicide Attackers: Secrets of an Israeli Counterterrorist

Itay Gil, Dan Baron

Paladin Press, 2004

A must read for any responsible citizen
In a world where freedoms are being stretched to their extreme; a world in which the word "innocent" is becoming synonymous with "victim", here is a book that re-addresses the balance in favour of you and me - the good peace-loving citizen. I found the book a most useful and practical guide that dispells many of the myths surrounding this subject - including the most prevalent... "I cannot do ...

Zack Arnstein, Larry Arnstein

Santa Monica Press, 2007

Terror Takes a Holiday
The Arnstein twins (father and son) have struck again, and turned the hat trick in their latest outing. From lessons in slackerhood (The Dog Ate My Resume) to ways to get even with humanity on your way to work (The Bad Driver's Handbook), they now turn their attention to the Topique de Jour, terrorism, and bring it right home to Mom and Pop America. In 34 hard-hitting chapters, they do more to ...

U. S. Elite Counterterrorist Forces (Power)

Stephen Tomajczyk

Zenith Press, 1997

Excellent Information
One must take into account that the book is after all, 1997...there were only a few terrorist activities that happened to the United States at that time. I find this book to be a good primer to other aspects of CT forces. Its only equal is Concord's "Special Operations Journal" which as of 3/1/2001 is in Volume 13. However, each SOJ is about the price of this book and you need to buy 3-4 SOJs ...

Counter-terrorist Law and Emergency Powers in the United Kingdom, 1922-2000
Laura K. Donohue

Irish Academic Press, 2007

"Counter-terrorist Law and Emergency Powers in the United Kingdom, 1922-2000" examines in detail the introduction and development of the 1922-1943 Civil Authorities (Special Powers) Acts (SPA), the use of which contributed to the fall of the Northern Ireland parliament and the assumption of direct rule by Westminster. The book reveals over 100 Regulations that the northern executive introduced under this legislation which escaped analysis. The ...

Counterterrorist Detection Techniques of Explosives

1 review

Elsevier Science, 2007

excellent cover !
The image on the book's cover is one of the best I've seen in many years. The subject is important and a hard technical problem. But the cover immediately and axiomatically summarises the promised capabilities of the antiterrorist methods. Be warned. The text is deeply technical. With an emphasis on the chemistry of explosives. Most explosives [well most solid substances] outgas. It is the ...

MBI Publ., 2002

CHEATED!!
I gave this book 1 star not for content but for misleading me. I purchased this book published by MBI publishing thinking I was getting a new title in reality all it was, was a repackaging of 3 older titles (U.S. Army Special Forces, DELTA: Americas Elite Counter terrorist Force and U.S. Elite Counter terrorist Forces. All part of the "Power Series") under one cover and title, now called U.S. ...

George Jonas

RBA, 2006

Ojo por ojo y nos quedaremos Ciegos.....
Venganza nos adentra en la persecución y cacería de los supuestos 11 terrorista que planearon la masacre de varios atletas Israelitas en las olimpiadas de Munich en 1972. Se lee como una novela pero es un testimonio del líder del grupo que tuvo que seguir y exterminar a todos los que tuvieron que ver con los atentados. Hay una película sobre el libro, la cual no se adentra del todo en el dilema ...

Eight Lives Down: The Story of a Counterterrorist Bomb-Disposal Operator's Tour in Iraq
Chris Hunter

Dell, 2009

Visceral and compelling, Eight Lives Down is the most exciting and nerve-jangling work of military non-fiction since Bravo Two Zero . If fate is against me and I?m killed, so be it, but make it quick and painless. If I?m wounded, don?t let me be crippled. But above all, don?t let me fuck up the task. So goes the bomb technician?s prayer before every bomb he defuses. For Chris Hunter, it is a prayer he says many times during his four-month ...

Neil C. Livingstone

Lexington Books, 1989

Extraordinarily researched and well written
As a fan of espionage, terrorism, and special ops. books I had to check this out. This covers a multitude of the aforementioned groups. It is extraordinarily researched and I strongly recommed it for the avid reader of books about "the weird world of Spooks, Counter-terrorists, Adventureres and the not-quite professionals.

The Lyons Press, 2002

Shin-bet makes a phone call to " The Engineer"
Yehiya Ayyash was the man who led the turning point of Hamas, with his bombs he scared Israelis like never before. Innocent people were slaughtered and killed by his technique and anger against Jews, but it was only a matter of time when Shin-bet (FBI equivalent in Israel) and Mossad tracked him down and gave him a little phone call on his mobile. This best thing about this book is that it not ...
