When the world’s most powerful MILITARY landed in Somalia in 1993, they thought it would be a quick job — in and out, one hour tops. But the streets of MOGADISHU turned into a deadly trap that even the best-trained soldiers could barely survive. Black Hawk helicopters fell from the sky. Soldiers were outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded by locals fighting for their land.

This is the true story behind OPERATION BLACK HAWK DOWN — a mission that changed how AMERICA fights its wars abroad. Many young soldiers paid with their lives, while Somali families lost even more. What lesson did the world learn? And did anyone truly win?
