### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Compelling Read - and not just for Military History Buffs
*by D***K on 18 December 2011*

As is mainly the case these days, people will mainly think of the film rather than the originating book when Black Hawk Down is mentioned. And as involving and exciting as Ridley Scott's film is, the book actually manages to eclipse it. Well researched, and written with authority, it was impossible to put down once the operation has commenced, and things start to go wrong. Bowden's style puts the reader right next to the heart of the action, maintaining momentum by inter-cutting between the individual situations of the various characters as they try to get through the mayhem. In managing to elicit genuine interest in those characters - they are far more than military serial numbers - Bowden avoids going gung ho, and the soldiers are never portrayed as some type of supermen. Gripping, pacy and thought provoking, you certainly don't have to be a committed devotee of military history to enjoy this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very gripping read
*by B***A on 21 August 2013*

I didn't know much about the war in Somalia before I read this book and was pleased to find accounts inside from both sides describing their version of events as they happened. The book is not a gung ho, blood and guts story. It follows the battle as it builds,describing the elation at first entering the battle to the fear and hopelessness felt by the american soldiers who felt abandoned and the anger felt by the somalis.It details immense bravery shown by both sides and I found it hard to put down. highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating read -  which has suprisng relevance to present day world events
*by M***Q on 10 June 2011*

Thoroughly enjoyed this book which gives a real "behind the scenes" insight into what was to become something of a game changer,for the u.s.a in particular,(as well as the united nations) as regards the use of miltary intervention as a way of influencing the outcome of other countries internal disputes.This incident certainly left a bad taste in the mouth for everyone involved on both sides.The book goes into a very detailed analysis of events which can be a little confusing to follow as it does get very "busy" and jumps around a lot between simultaneously occuring and historic events .There is also a great deal of reference to technical military type jargon which is also something of a distraction to the story line at times .However having said all that, I would say that (even for someone like me who would not normally search out books of this genre) this is a must read for all and I would thoroughly recommend.
