Depends on what interests you... The book was written by a journalist as a recount of what happened, and goes into more detail about what actually happened. The movie does follow the book pretty closely, probably more than any other movie I have seen....

The book has added significance for me, as I was part of the 2nd Ranger Battalion in the early '80's... SFC Watson is mentioned several times in the book and I believe is the same Sean Watson I knew as a Pre Ranger instructor while I was in RIP....

No it isn't... It's a GREAT movie!!!

One of my all-time favorite movies. I've yet to see another movie that can grab the audience and make them feel the character's despair.

I will say this, there are a TON of names to keep track of in the book, it wasn't easy for me to know who was who.

I bought the book at an airport and read it all the way across country. Could not put it down.
EXCELLENT book.
