Description
On October 3, 1993, about a hundred U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopter into a teeming market in Mogadishu, Somalia, to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord. The action was supposed to take an hour. Instead, they spent a long and terrible night fighting thousands of armed Somalis. Eighteen Americans were dead by morning, and more than seventy were badly injured. Mark Bowden’s gripping narrative is one of the most exciting accounts of modern war ever written–a riveting story that captures the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle.
