Title:  Mogadishu DiariesAuthor:  Eddie ThompkinsReviewer:  George ShadowSummary:The Mogadishu Diaries follows a young American soldier into Somalia during the onset of that poor African country's civil war in the 90s in pursuit of Mohamed Farah Aidid, warlord and self-proclaimed president of Somalia. This book is an eye witness' account of what really happened during the American-led attempt to capture this impetuous warlord.Social/Historical Context:The Somali warlord, Muhamed Farrah Aidid, evaded capture by American forces in the 90s during the onset of Somali's civil war and many books have been written concerning how he did this. The Mogadishu Diaries is such a book, through the eyes of a firsthand witness.Writing Style:Simple narrations make up the paragraphs of this book. Written in the first person, the book is devoid of grammatical and typographical errors.My Thoughts:Wow.... This book is quite interesting. Worth the trouble, seriously.George Shadow is the author of THE BLACK BOOK.
