Zheng also conducted his own extensive investigation into the reports of cannibalism. He says he interviewed relatives of victims and spoke with dozens of people who confessed to having eaten human flesh. He insists that his case is persuasive...

Everywhere the U.S. troops turned, they found themselves hemmed in by Somalis eager to touch American flesh, gesture their relief, smile their thanks. People skills seemed more important than military ones as the need to establish a friendly rapport battled with the demand to maintain order. In those first hours, it was hard not to be swept up in the euphoria. Declared Fatima Mohammed, 32, a mother of seven: "I'd like the U.S. troops to stay here for life...
