In the Company of Heroes

Piloting a U.S. Army Special Operations Blackhawk over Somalia, Michael Durant was shot down with a rocket-propelled grenade on October 3, 1993. With devastating injuries, he was made the prisoner of Somali warlord Mohamed Aidid - the man responsible for prolonging starvation in his country by hijacking U.N. food shipments. Revealing never-before-told stories with the incisive thought and emotion of one who was there, the author does not pull any punches.
