NAVEED ALI SHEIKH

Black Hawk Down: The Truth Behind the Fog 
By Naveed Ali Sheikh 
An elite U.S. task force descends on the Olympic Hotel to capture top warlords. Within hours, the mission spirals into chaos: two Black Hawk helicopters shot down, American soldiers pinned under relentless fire, and the streets of Somalia ablaze with rage. 
What the world saw was a tragic tale of courage and loss. 
What it didn’t see was who came to save them. 
In this groundbreaking and controversial account, Naveed Ali Sheikh unearths the suppressed truth behind Operation Gothic Serpent—the role of the Pakistani Armed Forces, who spearheaded the rescue of trapped American Delta Force and Rangers when no one else could. 
Drawing from eyewitness testimonies, military records, and declassified sources, Sheikh sheds light on the unrecognized heroism of Pakistani UN troops who fought through enemy lines, held their ground under intense fire, and pulled the wounded from the jaws of certain death. 
This is not just a retelling of a failed mission— 
It is a correction of the historical record. 
It is the voice of the forgotten. 
It is the truth behind the fog. 
Daring. Unflinching. Necessary.🖋️ About the Author

Enquiry Concerning the...

David Hume

"An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is a philosophical treatise written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The work was first published in 1751 and is one of Hume's most important works, along with "A Treatise of Human Nature" and "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion". 
In "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals", Hume explores the nature and foundation of morality. He argues that moral judgments are not based on reason, but on sentiment, or a natural feeling of approval or disapproval that we have towards certain actions or behaviors. He maintains that moral distinctions are not objective features of the world, but rather the products of human psychology. 
Hume also argues that morality is not derived from religion or any other external source, but rather is grounded in human nature and the natural sentiments that we have towards others. He emphasizes the importance of sympathy, or the ability to feel and understand the emotions of others, in the development of moral sentiments. 
Overall, "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" is a significant contribution to the field of moral philosophy and continues to be widely studied and debated by scholars today.
