In the most violent firefight since Vietnam, elite U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force members were pinned down in 1993 on Mogadishu streets by Somali warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid's forces. Frontline investigates a peacekeeping mission gone wrong and a deadly ambush still haunting U.S. military and foreign policy. A day later, eighteen U.S. soldiers were dead, 75 wounded, and the U.S. response to humanitarian crises had changed forever.

A production of WGBH Boston. A Frontline coproduction with InVision Productions, Ltd., in association with BBC-2. Originally produced for television broadcast as a segment of the series Frontline.
