A couple of years later my interest of the battle was rekindled by an edition of the BBC`s excellent history show TIMEWATCH that spoke to the survivors of " The biggest firefight involving American troops since Vietnam ", so when Mark Bowden released his book BLACK HAWK DOWN I opened the first page and found myself unable to put it down, and when I heard Ridley Scott was going to bring Bowden`s book to the big screen I was looking forward to seeing it I did enjoy the movie and have to take issue with some of the comments raised. I vividly remembered the news reports in October 1993 of the body of an American serviceman being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu following the battle there.
