Black Hawk Down

I am reading the book "Black Hawk Down." Black Hawk down takes place in Somalia, when the United States come on a mission of the name Irene. The mission is to kill or capture terrorists, the mission is supposed to be in and out but when a helicopter gets shot down everything changes. The soldiers have to quickly and safely get to the crash site, secure it, and wait for more troops to come and pick them up. Under heavy enemy fire from all directions of the crash site, they see another chopper get shot down. This creates even more kiosk. So far this book seems to be almost as good as the movie. I find it interesting to read about history and wars because most times history repeats itself. Wars are one of the most important aspects when looking at history, especially in the ancient times, there was no better way to solve a problem than with knives and arrows. This was an important book to write because people can't just look the other way when things like this happen. People need to be educated on whats happening in the world so they are aware whats going on so they can be prepared for it. I think its a terrible thing when the United States saw what those Somali people did to those American bodies after we left Somalia, seeing dead American corpse being dragged behind vehicles through the streets of Somalia. This is a great book so far.
