What is the theme in Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War by Mark Bowden?

Politics is a another theme in the book. At first Washington took little notice of the Battle of Mogadishu, aware only that the key men had been arrested and a few soldiers were still stuck in the streets of the city after a helicopter crash. However, as the American press caught hold of the story, images began to be shown on television of American soldiers being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu naked, all of them dead.
