Synopsis
This book details the events leading up to one of the most intense battles involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War. In October of 1993, helicopter operators of the U.S. Army Rangers brought 140 soldiers to Mogadishu, Somalia, to find and capture two men associated with a Somali warlord. The mission resulted in a tremendous exchange of fire lasting over 10 hours, in which dozens of Americans and hundreds of Somalis were killed or injured. A New York Times Notable Book of 1999.
