Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War by Mark Bowden

4.0

---

I remember standing in the grocery store thinking about the descriptions of the injured and dead and wondering how their family members would feel if they saw me reading this book. It seemed like such a violation of privacy - and then the movie came out. Still, I found it very interesting. In addition, every book about war or conflict deals with the victims. It is just that this was a current conflict at that point - an event not yet dulled by time.
