	Guests Of The Ayatollah by Mark Bowden: Reviews
		Bowden shows unparalleled skill in constructing an omniscient and engrossing narrative based on an almost daily account of the plight of the hostages, behind-the-scenes political machinations, and the planning of a rescue mission.
		Bowden keeps tension high while tracking the Americans' defiance of or acquiescence to their tormentors.
		Bowden's overlong account gets bogged down in the exhaustion and malaise of the original events, and the diplomatic cat-and-mouse is clogged by research.

	ParaPundit: Mark Bowden On Coercive Interrogation And Torture
		Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down has written an article about coercion and torture in interrogation in The Atlantic Monthly which is not on-line.
		The best interrogators in what is, by Bowden's own admission, basically more an art than a science, shouldn't be discouraged from practicing their craft because the public at large is whimsical and could decide to punish them once the public feels safe again.
		Bowden has another essay which is on whether there are circumstances when torture is justified.

	Amazon.com: Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War: Books: Mark Bowden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bowden (Bringing the Heat) has used his journalistic skills to find and interview key participants on both sides of the October 1993 raid into the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia, a raid that quickly became the most intensive close combat Americans have engaged in since the Vietnam War.
		But Bowden's gripping narrative of the fighting is only a framework for an examination of the internal dynamics of America's elite forces and a critique of the philosophy of sending such high-tech units into combat with minimal support.
		Mark Bowden has taken his award winning series of newspaper articles written for the Philadelphia Inquirer and turned them into a must-read classic for all military professionals.

		Although the Rangers and the Delta Force operators were desperate to go back into Mogadishu, the Clinton administration ended the effort to capture Aidid immediately after the failed raid became widely known, and Les Aspin, the Secretary of Defense, resigned two months later.
		But as Bowden writes, Clinton's decision to end the mission "accomplished what he intended: it slammed the door on the episode.
		In Washington a whiff of failure is enough to induce widespread amnesia." A year and a half later, the UN pulled out of Somalia as well.
