✅ Summary :

Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War by Mark Bowden is a critically acclaimed non-fiction book that provides a minute-by-minute account of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia.The book documents an ill-fated U.S. military raid, initially intended as a quick snatch-and-grab operation, which devolved into an intense, overnight firefight. On October 3, 1993, elite U.S. soldiers were deployed to capture two lieutenants of a local warlord, Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The mission was supposed to last an hour but resulted in two Black Hawk helicopters being shot down, eighteen American soldiers dead, and many more wounded. Bowden draws on extensive interviews with participants from both the American and Somali sides, as well as classified military records, audiotapes, and videos, to create a gripping and detailed narrative of the event.
