Already winning acclaim as one of the best accounts of combat ever written, Black Hawk Down is a minute-by-minute, heart-stopping account of the 1993 raid on Mogadishu, Somalia. Late in the afternoon of Sunday, October 3 1993, 140 elite US Soldiers abseiled from helicopters into a teeming market neighbourhood in the heart of the city. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord & return to base. It was supposed to take them about an hour.

Instead, they were pinned down through a long & terrible night in a hostile city, fighting for their lives against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. Two of their high-tech helicopters were shot out of the sky. When the unit was rescued the following morning, eighteen American soldiers were dead & more than seventy badly injured. The Somali toll was far worse
- more than five hundred killed & over a thousand injured.

Authoritative, gripping, & insightful, Black Hawk Down is destined to become a classic of war reporting. It is already the most accurate, detailed account of modern combat ever written.

This paperback book has 576 pages & measures: 17.7 x 10.6 x 3.5cm

Iraq's ' Triangle of Death', 2005. A platoon of young soldiers from a U.S. Regiment known as 'the Black Heart Brigade' is deployed to a lawless & hyperviolent area just south of Baghdad. Almost immediately, the attacks begin: every day another roadside bomb, another comrade blown to pieces by insurgents. As the daily violence chips away, & chips away at their sanity, the thirty-five young men of 1st Platoon, Bravo Company descend into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse, & brutality
- with tragic results. Black Hearts is a timeless true story of how modern warfare can make or break a man's character. Told with severe compassion, balanced judgement & the magnetic pace of a thriller, it looks set to become one of the defining books about the Iraq War.
