Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom

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.
