Giovinazzo. The Battle of Mogadishu was the longest sustained ground battle involving American soldiers since the Vietnam War. In 1993, an elite force of 120 American Delta units and Ranger infantry were dropped in Mogadishu to abduct two of Somalian warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's lieutenants. Rather than a simple mission without casualties against a ragtag army, two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. What was expected to take an hour lasted 15, resulting in the deaths of 18 Americans, 73 wounded and hundreds of Somalians dead. If you like Three Kings then this may be right up your street.
