Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden is about a mission gone awry. Mark Bowden was born in July 17, 1951 in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated from Loyola College in Maryland and is a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer. The mission is to capture some of Mohamad Farrak Aidid’s militia’s officials in Mogadishu, Somalia. While trying to capture two prime suspects, the forces engage in fierce combat that kill many fine Rangers and Delta Force operatives.
I enjoyed the battle a lot because I am a war nut and love the military. I liked how in detail the story was because it has with many narratives and direct quotes from some people. During reading the book I felt like I was actually in the battle, so I started ducking while my trigger finger went nuts. I actually might have ducked for cover a couple times which is sad to admit. I also enjoyed the adjectives that were used because they were eloquent, but still gave me a sense of the battle.
A weakness I found in this novel is that the point of view changes way too much. The book was so interesting that while the narrative changes I am still on the ground trying to dodge bullets while shooting back. While the story is now talking about their families and how they grew up. At one point in the novel it starts in one person’s point of view than half way down the page it changes to someone else’s point of view that has no relevance to the first person’s point of view. Also the narratives were very uninteresting. The book changes sometimes to very boring parts of the story while there are battles on the other side the book is talking about birds and scenery.
Overall I thought the book was exquisite minding some inconsistencies. I believe that everyone should read this book about survival and the will to bring an area to safety instead of poverty. I would read this book again because the story is sad yet patriotic. When I finished this book I felt torn between signing up for the army or going to an anti war protest.(less)
