Since September, i have read:

The Soviet-Afghan War: How a superpower fought and lost
If you are into military tactics, this is the book for you. It explains what the Russians used to fight, as well as the Mujahideen. It also gives you an insight on how the Taliban was formed.

Black Hawk Down
Basically what Toten said, very good read and very informative.

Right now i am reading:

Delta Force: The U.S. Army's elite Counter-terrorist unit
I am about 56 pages into the book of about 300. Col. Charlie Beckwith's novel gives you an inside look on Delta, and how he formed it. He was also the first commander of Delta. As you may know, Delta was a part of the Battle of the Black Sea, (BHD) but the book was publised in 1985 so it does not cover Somalia.
