This book details the events leading up to one of the most intense battles involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War. In October of 1993, helicopter operators of the U.S. Army Rangers brought 140 soldiers to Mogadishu, Somalia, to find and capture two men associated with a Somali warlord. The mission resulted in a tremendous exchange of fire lasting over 10 hours, in which dozens of Americans and hundreds of Somalis were killed or injured. A New York Times Notable Book of 1999.

Industry reviews
"Mogadishu has already inspired several books and documentaries....Bowden's rendering, however, is the most accurate and extensive, because in addition to first-person accounts he wrangled access to confidential Army action logs." Burgess
"Plot lines and histrionic relationships multiply in Elizabeth McGregor's ambitious but contrived new novel....The book is strongest in its fictionalized account of the real-life Franklin expedition." New York Times Book Review - Roberta Bernstein (09/09/2001)
