Older documentary if you can't wait
I'll add that the book Black Hawk Down is excellent. It is, in my opinion, even better than the movie.
Absolutely, especially since you get a more accurate picture of the background which let up to it.Originally Posted by Mark D
There’s a book called The Battle Of Mogadishu which collects several short autobiographical accounts of participants in the battle that didn’t get a lot of attention in some of the other media. I highly recommend it.

The book may well be the finest piece of non-fiction I've ever read. The documentary Paul Howe did is also very worthwhile, for those interested.

This one?
Woah, woah, woah... was listening to one of the above documentaries: I didn't know that Osama bin Laden and Al-Quaeda were helping Adid in Somalia.
I remember reading the original "Blackhawk Down" series that first appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer. I printed out the articles and passed it around the military school I was assigned to at the time - more than one fellow officer commented that he couldn't put it down. We passed copies to our students. The book followed later.
