Osprey Publishing - Day of the Rangers, Somalia 1993 (Force on Force, Companion 4)

Details: This is a soft publication in very good condition.

In the early 90s, Somalia was a country in chaos - warlords carved out their own territories, enforcing their will through militia gangs, civil war raged, and famine compounded the situation. As a joint US-UN mission struggled to maintain order, the warlords began to unite behind Mohamed Farrah Aidid, who was to proclaim himself President of Somalia and embark upon a campaign to force the peacekeepers out of the country. Operations against Aidid and his strongholds intensified, culminating in the famous Operation Gothic Serpent, and the rescue mission to save a downed Black Hawk helicopter carried out by US Rangers and Delta Force operatives. Day of the Rangers provides war-gamers with all the background, orders of battle, and scenarios they need to immerse themselves in the epic battle for Mogadishu.
