The terrifying reality of Black Hawk Down
2018-10-25
  • The 18-hour Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 led to the deaths of 18 US soldiers
  • A new book seeks to describe the battle from ordinary soldiers' perspectives
  • It includes a photograph taken from one of the Black Hawks during the battle
  • It had started as a routine mission to seize the deputies of a Somali warlord
  • Two of the Special Forces' Black Hawk helicopters were immediately shot down
  • The dramatic operation was later turned into a blockbuster Hollywood movie
