Through out the whole book the antagonist are the Somali Militia. They, the US Military, are fighting against them the whole time. Neither side will give up. It's a constant battle between both sides, but some times the battle is with themselves. Like when The first chopper went down they had to go to the crash site even though they knew that the rash site is a plain target. THey had to fight with their mind, though they knew they were going to die if they went.

This article is very close in context to this book. It's about a former ranger that was part of the mission and twenty years from that day he is visiting the memorials that people had made to honor the soldiers life. Daniel Klaidman tells his story about that day and visits the memorials too. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/09/black-hawk-down-s-long-shadow.html

In the book Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden a hundred men of the US military are ordered to go into Mogadishu Somalia and capture a powerful war lord, Mohamed Farrah Aidid. This mission was supposed to be a quick and easy mission but the Somali military knew that the US military were coming and they prepared with RPG’s, AK47’s, grenades, etc. and dragged the mission into an overnight fight that tests the mens patience and brotherhood. Through the book we follow these men through the good bad and ugly while they try to survive.

This book had a good plot and started out great, but then it started to bore me with more and more information. The author started to write a exciting action scene when he starts to talk about one of the character's background information right in the middle of the scene, and after thats all gone you forget what was going on. There are places where he puts information in the right places but some of the places where he puts the extra information makes the book more boring and dry. This book is a great book to read, there is a lot of action and suspense, but you have to be a very patient reader to read this book.
