Title: A ground level look at the events of Black Hawk Down
Review: BowdensBlack Hawk Down: A Story of Modern Warprovides the overview of events, while this book provides the personal stories of several participants. granted that these men are not professional writers, and their stories are each in their own voice, which could be jarring for some readers when the move from one mans account to the next; but that failing is also the fundamental strength of this book. these are the personal accounts of men who were there. they say what they want, and try and set the record strait where they can. as a companion book to Black Hawk Down, it really is invaluable, as it provides a fresh window on events. but even on its own, it stands as a fascinating set of accounts by men who lived through the battle of Mogadishu.
