Black Hawk Down

i have just started the book Black Hawk Down. from what i have heard it is supposed to be a very intense but scary book. i am looking forward to reading it because many of my family members have recommended it to me and said it is a great book. i am not very far into the book, but i am already hooked. the book is about the largest sustained firefight involving American troops since the end of the Vietnam War. so far in my reading the American troops were dropped into Mogadishu without incident and captured their main objectives. the main objectives of the American troops was to capture a warlords two top guys. the Americans were immediately surprised by the amount of gun fire coming from the Somalis when they landed. as they set up a perimeter around the target building, they noticed that there were thousands of Somalis all around them and that there were just more coming. the only thing wrong up to this point is that one of the newer American soldiers fell off of the rope when he was coming down from the helicopter. when he fell he suffered major injuries to his head and back. all of the other American troops have remained unharmed to this point. the commanders, who are watching back at their headquarters, think everything is going according to plan. they are watching on cameras and hoping that everything will go smoothly.
