Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War by Mark Bowden

wfzimmerman’s review: “The story is terrific, but the subtitle is a bridge too far: shot-down helicopters are a routine event in modern war. What was abnormal was the US political reaction to what, considered in the context of military operations, was really a rather trivial event. Did we expect that no one would ever shoot at us?”
