Just starting it, but I would like to recommend this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Like-Life-Clinton-Soldier/dp/1438984790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245634708&sr=1-1

"What's It Like? A Day In The Life of a 'Clinton' Soldier" by Rodney Burke

the day is the same day in Somalia when the Black Hawk went down and the Army sniper's personal journal of those moments. Looks to be as good as "Black Hawk Down".

I'd also love if anyone could recommend something like this. Any books on the War from the soilders perspective as well? I've just started reading Generation Kill and it's sparked my interest in both wars (Iraq/Afghanistan) from that kind of viewpoint.

Memoir/Journal style from an Army Sniper while in the field. The day is the same day in Somalia when the Black Hawk went down and the Army sniper's personal journal of those moments. Looks to be as good as "Black Hawk Down".
