In the Company of Heroes

I did not like this book written by Michael Durant. In 1993, while Somalia was in the midst of a civil war, President Clinton ordered US troops into the area to capture warlord Mohamed Aidid, because he was preventing food from reaching the starving residents. During the Battle of Mogadishu on October 3 and 4, two Blackhawk helicopters were shot down and pilot Michael Durant was kidnapped by Aidid’s militia and tormented. The story is about his treatment during 11 days of captivity and eventual rescue.
