A fantastic look at the origins & operations of Delta, told from the perspective of one of Delta's founding members (& later commanding officer). Also included is Boykin's side of the story regarding NBC News' 2003 "Outing" of him, in which the network incorrectly painted the General as an intolerant bigot on a crusade to crush Islam in the name of Jesus. Jerry Boykin dazzles the reader with war stories while interspersing the text with details about how God was at work in his life through the various operations & trials he faced.
I found Never Surrender to be captivating & encouraging, with never a dull moment. It is a well-written book, having the feel of sitting across the table from General Boykin, listening to him sharing his wisdom & stories over a cup of coffee. Never did the narrative get bogged down in minutiae. I have no problem recommending Never Surrender as a fantastic & uplifting memoir. You will be encouraged & your faith will be strengthened by the reading of it.
Thank God for men like Jerry Boykin. They're getting harder to come by.

Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom is a wonderful emotional story about one man…Lieutenant General William G. Boykin. Boykin shares every step of his journey with readers from the first moment that he decided to go into the military to the end with he retires from it. I do want to state that Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom has nothing to do with attacking republicans or democratics but instead shows readers things that the media doesn’t tell you about including the strong bond that is formed between friends and turns out becoming the strongest band of brothers you will ever meet.
The one thing I really found amazing about Lieutenant General William G. Boykin was his unwavering dedication to his faith in God. I thought this fact really made Boykin a man of honor, respect, and of great character. There are not many non fiction volumes that were so powerful in addition to leaving such a lasting memory as Never Surrender: A Soldier’s Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom. After reading this book you can’t help but feel proud to be an American. It’s people like Lieutenant General William G. Boykin who we have to give our thanks to for giving us our freedom to live out lives the way we want to and I have one comment to make and that is…We will Never Surrender!

Read this because we kinda-sorta-maybe met the general (actually my family just heard him speak at a homeschool conference convention thing), my dad bought the books and said I should read them, and so I did . . . but really don't remember being affected by them in any significant way.
