Book Reviews of In The Company Of Heroes

Book Review: Great Story!
Summary: 5 Stars

In the Company of Heroes, an inside account of what happened to Durant during and after his capture, is a great addition to the story told in Blackhawk Down.

One drawback is the lack of information regarding the Somali people involved. A little background on Firimbi, his caretaker while in captivity, would have made the book much better (although I still ranked it with 5 stars).

I enjoyed the "flash backs" because they give you insight into Durant's history and TF160. Getting to know the author was fun. We drove the same car in High School (Datsun B210) and attended flight school at roughly the same time (1982/3). These tidbits of information made the story much more enjoyable for me.

An easy and fast read. Well worth you time. If nothing else, you will have a greater appreciation of the sacrifices made every day by the military and their Special Forces soldiers.

Summary of In The Company Of Heroes

Revealing never-before-told stories with the incisive thought and emotion of one who was there.

"The author does not pull any punches...his story, is one of great bravery, of going to hell and making it back."

?Indianapolis Star

His battered face appeared on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report to the shock and horror of all Americans. Black Hawk pilot Mike Durant was shot down and taken prisoner during America's biggest firefight since the Vietnam War. Published in the tenth anniversary year of the Somali conflict, this gripping personal account at last tells the world about Durant's harrowing captivity and the heroic deeds of his doomed comrades. And, as readers will discover, Durant proves himself to be nothing less than a hero.
