Black Hawk Down: The Truth Behind the Fog
By Naveed Ali Sheikh
An elite U.S. task force descends on the Olympic Hotel to capture top warlords. Within hours, the mission spirals into chaos: two Black Hawk helicopters shot down, American soldiers pinned under relentless fire, and the streets of Somalia ablaze with rage.
What the world saw was a tragic tale of courage and loss.
What it didn’t see was who came to save them.
In this groundbreaking and controversial account, Naveed Ali Sheikh unearths the suppressed truth behind Operation Gothic Serpent—the role of the Pakistani Armed Forces, who spearheaded the rescue of trapped American Delta Force and Rangers when no one else could.
Drawing from eyewitness testimonies, military records, and declassified sources, Sheikh sheds light on the unrecognized heroism of Pakistani UN troops who fought through enemy lines, held their ground under intense fire, and pulled the wounded from the jaws of certain death.
This is not just a retelling of a failed mission—
It is a correction of the historical record.
It is the voice of the forgotten.
It is the truth behind the fog.
Daring. Unflinching. Necessary.
