	ICRC detention visits: ex-detainees share their experiences
		Mike Durant, the pilot of a U.S Army Special Operations Black Hawk helicopter, was shot down and captured by followers of the Somali faction leader, Mohammed Aidid on 3 October 1993.
		Durant told the ICRC in a recent interview that he would never forget the moment that the delegate walked through the door of where he was being held and the emotional impact the visit provoked.
		Durant says he left Somalia with a great respect for the work ICRC delegates do and that he understands that the ICRC's neutrality has to be maintained if it is to continue to help those detained, as he once was, during the course of armed conflict.

	Amazon.ca: In The Company Of Heroes: Books: Michael Durant
		Durant went down with the Black Hawk he piloted; after a terrifying crash in which his back and leg were broken and a violent fire-fight, he was held captive for ten days by Somali militiamen as a pawn in their stand-off with American peacekeeping forces.
		Durant is a gung-ho army honcho, not much given to introspection, and the book often takes leave of the captivity narrative to recount his exploits in conflicts from Panama to Iraq, and to celebrate the bravado and leave-no-man-behind esprit-de-corps of his élite "Night Stalkers" helicopter unit.
		Durant's perspective on the Somalia conflict is somewhat limited and jingoistic ("Mogadishu was Tombstone, and we were Wyatt Earp"), but his is a revealing portrait of the human face of war.
