1.Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern WarBlack Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War
from G. K. Hall & Company

Customer Review:
Bowden has written a masterful account of the Black Hawk Down tragedy which became a famous Tony Scott movie. The scene is grim: Mogadishu under the warlords with an inept, incompetent United Nations force presuming that it will separate the warring factions and restore peace. The United States... more info

5.Surrender or Starve: Travels in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and EritreaSurrender or Starve: Travels in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea
from Vintage
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Surrender or Starve is a solid book that deserves reading, especially if you knew nothing of the Ethiopian/Eritrean conflict.

6.Me Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan and RwandaMe Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda
from Routledge
Price: $25.15

Customer Review:
Peterson's story sure is not an easy read. He details the devastation of war and famine--much of it man made--in Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda, and relates it to ethnic/cultural/clan/religious rivalries that westerners hardly understand, yet get in the middle of it to provide relief. Not a happy story... more info

10.Black Hawk DownBlack Hawk Down
from Corgi Books

Customer Review:
Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden is an intense book about a U.S. military mission that started out as a seemingly easy assignment, but went terribly wrong. This story concerns events that actually happened during two days in October 1993 in the sandy desert city of Mogadishu, Somalia. The main mission... more info
