On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger was dispatched to seize two high-profile lieutenants of a Somali warlord. Special Forces troops were transported by ground vehicles and helicopters, and the mission was meant to be over within the hour. They quickly found themselves under heavy fire, and two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. With a hastily organized relief column many hours away, the American troops faced a desperate battle for survival.

Focusing on the stories of the soldiers on the ground and in the air, Day of the Rangers reveals the experiences and recollections of the Special Forces units, including the Rangers, Delta operators, and Nightstalker crews who fought in the battle of Mogadishu.

Published to mark the battle's 25th anniversary and using recently declassified documents and new interviews with many of the participants, Day of the Rangers is a fascinating and revealing new history of a battle that would influence American Special Forces for decades to come.

This is an informative and complete account of Blackhawk down. I learn d a lot while listening. The reader is one of my favorites and does a good job. Lots of heroes and lessons learned. It's more than worth your time, this is a great read.

You've seen the movie. You should read this book.

Awesome and hyper accurate first hand accout of the battle of Mogadishu. This was the battle the influenced and change a significant number of strategic and tactical procedures for US SOF. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to know what really happened that day.

Awesome account

Great detail and explanation of the lead-up to and the events of October 3rd and 4th as well as the aftermath and lessons learned. I thought it was well-written and with the amount of time that’s passed the author was able to talk to more now-retired participants and build a more accurate and complete picture than Bowden did. I wish there was a way to see any maps and images from the book.

My only complaints are about the narrator. I found his Gen Garrison and Somali accents to be bad and distracting and his normal voice generally grating. Also found the fact that he didn’t take the tiny amount of time it would’ve taken to learn how to correctly pronounce basic military acronyms that are frequently used throughout the book such as JOC and NODs really annoying.

Great Book

If the event is of interest to you, you can't NOT read/listen to the book, but I could not groove to the narration at all. The voice, tone and sometimes tempo just don't sync with what was going on. At least not in my mind. Otherwise a great accounting of the Battle of Mogadishu.

Great on details, but the performance...

This book gives a ton more detail to the events that unfolded before, during, and after the battle in Mogadishu. It seems that due to poor communication, weak political leadership, and fighting in a chaotic urban environment made the job a lot tougher for the soldiers on the ground. It was interesting to hear from the actual soldier’s perspective rather than watching the well done but slightly misrepresenting film Black Hawk Down.

Better than the Movie

Great book! I really enjoyed it. It was a heck of a blunder by our politicians as usual and the guys on the ground paid the price.

highly detailed

Very good book and basically the first time someone wrote about how hard the 10th mountain fought to get in there and get the special operators and rangers out. Great job on the book and great job for the boys from the mountain. 

Very good book!

Better than Blackhawk down. Tons of information and first hand accounts. Very well written and performed. Joe B isn’t one of the best narrators but did well.

Better than Blackhawk Down.
