书籍简介

《黑鹰降落》已经是战争报道的经典之作，现在作为格罗夫出版社的平装本再版。这本书是马克·鲍登(Mark Bowden)对自越南战争以来美军持续时间最长的一次交火的精彩描述。1993年10月3日，大约100名美国精锐士兵被直升机空投到索马里摩加迪沙市中心拥挤的市场。他们的任务是绑架索马里军阀的两名高级副官，然后返回基地。本来要花一个小时。相反，他们发现自己在与数千名全副武装的索马里人进行的漫长而可怕的夜间战斗中被困住了。第二天早上，18名美国人死亡，70多人受重伤。

鲍登利用了双方的采访、军队记录、录音带和视频(其中一些材料仍属机密)，对现代战斗进行了一分一秒的叙述，是有史以来最激动人心的记述之一——一个引人入胜的故事，捕捉了战斗中的英雄主义、勇气和残暴。

Already a classic of war reporting and now reissued as a Grove Press paperback, Black Hawk Down is Mark Bowden's brilliant account of the longest sustained firefight involving American troops since the Vietnam War. On October 3, 1993, about a hundred elite U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopter into the teeming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead, they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. The following morning, eighteen Americans were dead and more than seventy had been badly wounded.

Drawing on interviews from both sides, army records, audiotapes, and videos (some of the material is still classified), Bowden's minute-by-minute narrative is one of the most exciting accounts of modern combat ever written--a riveting story that captures the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle.
