Amazon Editorial Review:
From acclaimed director Ridley Scott and renowned producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes a riveting motion picture scripted by Ken Nolan as depicted in this bestselling audiobook by author Mark Bowden. Based on actual events, "Black Hawk Down" is the heroic account of a group of elite U.S. soldiers sent into Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993 as part of a U.N. peacekeeping operation. Their mission: to capture several top lieutenants of the Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, as part of a strategy to quell the civil war and famine that is ravaging the country. Young Rangers and veteran Delta Force soldiers fight side by side against overwhelming odds. For eighteen harrowing hours, they remain trapped and wounded in the most hostile district of Mogadishu until a rescue convoy can be mounted to retrieve them. Outnumbered and surrounded, tensions flare, friends are lost, alliances are formed, and soldiers learn the true nature of war and heroism.

Received in the mail yesterday.

I'm not sure why I even signed up for this audiobook. This is definitely not the type of book I ever read. I guess I was thinking it would be easier to listen to the book than to watch the movie. I can't even imagine the terror those young "boys" felt. I'm sure that none of them were ever the same after that horrible experience.

The next participant has asked to be skipped. Waiting to find out what carlissa wants me to do with this audiobook.

Read the book pre-BC, so it was quite a while ago. Thought I'd give this a try.

Taken from BigJohnLefty's CD-Only AudioBookBox with thanks.

Here's a paper copy on my BookCrossing shelf.
