Reddit reviews Black Hawks Rising: The Story of AMISOM’s Successful War against Somali Insurgents, 2007-2014

Well, so far I've read (well, finished, I'd started reading it in December) Anglo-Norman Warfare, which is a collection of essays edited by Matthew Strickland (recommended on the /r/WarCollege reading list), and Black Hawks Rising by Opiyo Oloye. I'm now reading the British Museum Anglo-Saxon Art book by Leslie Webster. I'm hoping to finish that fairly soon, and get started on Tank Warfare on the Eastern Front 1941-1942 by Robert Forczyk.

In terms of mini reviews:

-Anglo-Norman Warfare is very interesting, especially the second half. There's a lot of different academics writing in it, and they're often hilariously vicious to each other.

-Black Hawks Rising is an incredibly interesting book, but I did struggle with the way it's written. Some serious editing needs to be done. I also don't really know enough about the individual armies involved in AMISOM to be able to assess the author's regular tendency to refer to (for example) the Ugandan army as "highly professional". I wouldn't mind somebody's input on that, if any of you are more knowledgeable than I am.

-Anglo-Saxon Art is good, and has a lot of very good pictures to accompany the text. It is an Art History book though, which means I'm less at home with the terminology.

I wouldn't mind if anybody has anything to say about the Robert Forczyk book before I read it!
