#paperback#military#newyorktimes#bestseller#motionpicture#militaryhistory 0140288503 A brilliant account of the longest sustained fire fight involving American troops since the Vietnam war. On October 3, 1993, about 100 elite US soldiers were dropped by helicopters into the teaming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. They found themselves pinned down to a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. The following morning 18 Americans were dead and more than 70 badly injured. This is a minute by minute narrative, and an exciting account of modern war. A story that captures heroism, courage, and brutality of battle.
