In 1993, the battle of Mogadishu was the most intense combat Americans had engaged in since Vietnam. In this adrenaline-filled debut novel, Matthew Eck puts readers inside the mind of a young man caught in the fog of unexpected attack.
When a small unit of soldiers from the U.S. Army is separated from their command and left for dead, their only option is to keep moving, in hope that they will escape the marauding gangs and clansmen who appear to rule the city. After a series of horrifying, often violent encounters along the way, only a few of them survive. In this short war novel, the characters, both natives and invaders alike, are haunting-almost inhuman-and the emerging story reflects a new kind of military engagement, with all the attendant horrors and difficulties.
