Very quick read. I was amazed at what happened and how brave these guys were. 10 times better than the movie, and I really liked the movie!

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is so detailed, that when you read it, you see everything very clearly in your mind. You feel the emotions that these soldiers feel. It's also interesting from a civilians standpoint just what our military goes through and experiences. Very good read.
If you are interested in modern military books, try 'Blind Man's Bluff'. It's about modern day submarine espionage. Sorry, can't remember the author.

For me, an excellent read. I believe I bought this book after seeing the film and as usual, the book brought much more context to the story of men in a difficult combat situation.
Fantastic!
"Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War" depicts modern combat in a dynamic narration that takes you in, without being an action novel. This is very well written, and much better than the movie, that is very well done.
