Review
If some of the events seem familiar, it's hardly surprising. For Durant, a member of the American Special Forces Group, was serving in Somalia in the summer of 1993. On helicopter duty in Mogadishu, he was shot down. Taken captive by Somali troops after a bloody fight, his image appeared in the media around the world as, after coercive torture, he was forced to make anti-American propaganda. The recent Hollywood blockbuster Blackhawk Down (after the bestseller by Mark Bowden) covered the battle during which Durant was captured, and this new book is a chance for those who enjoyed that earlier account to read another, just as gripping, about the conflict and its aftermath. Hot after the Gulf War, and with a brave, true tale to tell in the first person, this is the sort of book which itself should lead to some minor scuffles - if only at the tills.
Book Description
