      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Black Hawk Down" is the harrowing true story of a group of elite American soldiers sent into Somalia in 1993 as part of a U.N. peacekeeping incursion. Their mission is to abduct several top lieutenants of a Somalian warlord as part of a strategy to quell the civil war that is tearing the country to pieces. When the mission goes terribly wrong, the soldiers find themselves in the middle of the biggest U.S. military firefight since its involvement in Vietnam. Based on the book by Mark Bowden. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #18 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    There are, of course, a number of reasons why I read Widescreen Review. The primary one, however, is the excellent informative reviews and critiques on the latest DVD's, which are most helpful! In addition, there are many very informative articles on all aspects of home theatre, and I really view your magazine as an excellent resource for any home theatre owner in terms of ideas and excellent product information.
