"Ranger, Ranger, you die Somalia!" shouted the enraged Somali voices surrounding Blackhawk helicopter pilot Michael J. Durant, his bird shot down by a well-placed rocket-propelled grenade. With his devastating injuries, Durant would be lucky to survive the night.

"Mike Durant...Mike Durant..." came the disembodied voice floating above the war-torn streets of Mogadishu, mixed in with the steady drone of a large U.S. Army helicopter. "Mike Durant...We will not leave without you!"

Piloting a U.S. Army Special Operations Blackhawk, Durant was shot down and captured on October 3, 1993, in the battle depicted in Mark Bowden's best-selling book Black Hawk Down. Durant became a prisoner of Somali warlord Mohammed Aidid -- the man responsible for prolonging starvation in his country by hijacking United Nations food shipments. U.S. policy makers had determined that capturing Aidid was the only way to restore order. The simple snatch-and-grab plan, named Operation Gothic Serpent, turned into the biggest U.S. Firefight since the Vietnam War.

Durant's experience as a prisoner in Somalia grew increasingly bizarre, crystallizing a clash of cultures by turns frightening, melancholy, hilarious, and strangely familiar. Revealing never-before-told stories with the incisive thought and emotion of one who was there, In the Company of Heroes is one man's unforgettable, true story of going to hell and making it back alive.

After a long time, I decided to watch the movie Black Hawk Down and the history of it peaked my interest. When I discovered that Michael Durant wrote a book about his capture and narrated it, I purchased the book immediately. His narration was a little dry but it's to be expected from a military vet sharing his vivid experience. He talked alot about his time in captivity and how he felt through it all. The book made me tear up a few times as it displayed his strength and agility through it all. He showed so much emotion towards his fallen comrades and his appreciation towards the ones that fought for his safety. The only part about the book that I didn't like was the music that was played every 20 minutes or so. It was very old school and not necessary. Overall great story and I highly recommend to anyone!

Great Story of Heroism

I have been reading about the battles 10/3/93-10/4/93 for many years. Mike Durant's experiences, his treatment, and what he personally witnessed his comrades do are often a sidebar. To understand the whole picture, this is a must-read. Being read by Durant himself makes it all the better. For further reading, including many facts previously unknown, left out of other books, or just flat out wrong in other writings, I highly encourage the reading of "Day of the Rangers, the battle of Mogadishu 25 years on". It's the best and most comprehensive book on this event, IMO. RLTW! N.S.D.Q.

An integral part of knowing 10/3/93 and after

I heard Durant on the Jocko Podcast and immediately got the book afterwards. Black Hawk down has much more to the story, this is a crucial part that was not covered well in that movie. 2 Medal of Honor recipients gave their lives, that day, in attempt of preserving the life of Durant and his crew. Those men had Wives and Children back home, regardless they went anyways against insurmountable odds. We owe it to all the men, and their families, who gave their lives that day in 1993. Please read
/listen so that those who paid the ultimate price will not be forgotten. Thank you.

While Mike Durant isn't a born storyteller, to hear the words from the man who experienced it shook me to the bone. NSDQ.

I appreciate that. The author read the book himself, as he did a great job of not only getting his words paper, but getting them back to our ears

It is difficult to imagine the courage and fortitude shown by Michael Durant to survive such an ordeal. Truly a testament to the caliber of those who make our freedom a personal priority so that the vast majority of us can live without fear.

Determination and grit in the face of hopelessness
