Perfect for you if...

  • You're drawn to military memoirs that go beyond the action sequences to explore the personal cost of combat operations and leadership under fire.
  • You're interested in how faith sustained someone through extraordinary circumstances, without preaching or oversimplifying the tension between duty and belief.
  • You respect grounded accounts of real geopolitical events like the hunt for Escobar and the Panama invasion, told by someone who was actually there.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a straightforward thriller where the narrative tension comes from plot twists rather than the author's reflections on his own choices.
  • You prefer memoirs that steer clear of religious themes or where faith feels central rather than woven throughout the story.
  • You want a strictly chronological, battle-focused account without deeper exploration of how military service shaped the author's worldview over decades.

About this book

In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined Delta Force, the world's premier Special Operations unit, with the stark promise of "A medal and a body bag." He survived a .50 caliber round to the chest and spent his career with America's elite forces pursuing warlords, war criminals, despots, and dictators across the globe. Boykin's assignments took him to Colombia, where his task force hunted drug lord Pablo Escobar, and to Panama, where he helped capture dictator Manuel Noriega and liberate the nation. His military service spanned Vietnam, Iran, and Mogadishu. As a Lieutenant General, Boykin's experiences read like an action-adventure narrative. This account describes how Boykin's military duty and his faith intersected throughout his career, sustaining him through combat in foreign theaters and through a political controversy that emerged in his own country.
