About
The Battle of Mogadishu is a largely forgotten, yet extremely important event in U.S. military history. When 18 American soldiers were killed and images broadcast of bodies dragged through the streets of an enigmatic African city, it was a horrible blow to the national psyche. In a 2-hour review of the battle, based on Mark Bowden’s bestseller “Black Hawk Down”, we see how we got there, what went wrong, and explore the legacy. Includes interviews with Bowden, U.S. Rangers, and Somali militiamen.
