Written by Michael Durant, the pilot who was captured during the Somalia incident known as "Black Hawk Down." If you were a fan of the movie, or the book, this is a must read. It gives you a look into what happened during Durant's captivity. Also, you will learn about some of his past operations.
Some of the more cruesome, but true facts are very important to be known just for accuracy sake. For example:
Until this book was written, Michael Durant lead people to believe that he was hit in the race with a rifle when the Somalians first attacked him. You can clearly see it in the movie. The truth is.....
It was the army of his co-pilot.
