Matterhorne is amazing. If you liked it, Sympathy For The Devil is the same sort of book from a more personal perspective. It follows one kid in special forces. The author based it on his own experiences. It was recommended to me in this thread I think, and I was initially doubtful as to the quality bc the cover art looks like it was designed by a 13 year old, and the title was sort of eye-rolling imo, but its very very good.

E: further up on this page actually

Pretty sure you're thinking of Inside Delta Force by Eric Haney, who isn't very highly regarded by his peers.

It's def this book. Why isn't Haney liked?

Hunting the Jackal is a cool book btw by Mr. Billy Waugh who is a certified bad rear end. I mean look at this poo poo

He was SOG in Vietnam, performed one of, if not the first HALO jumps, chased Bin Laden around Sudan (I think), and was active in Iraq for OIF and the Battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan. CIA book called Jawbreaker even mentions him. I read it for entertainment, def a fun read.
