"One of the best books to come out of the Iraq war." -- Financial Times "Stunning." -- Boston Herald "Engrossing." -- Washington Post "Shockingly honest." -- Entertainment Weekly "Complex." -- New York Times, "A pungently written combat narrative and a close-range study of a bunch of twentysomething warriors trying to get a handle on who they are." -- Time "Nuanced and grounded in details often overlooked in daily journalistic accounts...A complex portrait of able young men raised on video games and trained as killers." -- The New York Times "A stellar reporting achievement...Think Black Hawk Down or Michael Herr's Dispatches ."-- O ttawa Citizen "Shockingly honest."-- Entertainment Weekly "Visceral, sometimes shocking...a brutally honest acount of America's latest generation to experiencethe stark, horrifying realities of warfare."-- Boston Herald "Sidesteps Greatest Generation clichés to find the unexpected--a self-described 'Marine Corps killer' who listens to Barry Manilow, a corporal who compares a gunfight to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City ."-- The Washington Post Wright wrote about [his] experience in a three-part series in Rolling Stone that was hailed for its evocative, accurate war reporting.

Synopsis
Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone , this is the raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO® original mini-series. Within hours of 9/11, America's war on terrorism fell to those like the twenty-three Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam. They were a new pop-culture breed of American warrior unrecognizable to their forebears--soldiers raised on hip hop, video games and The Real World . Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional and moral horrors ahead, the "First Suicide Battalion" would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq, and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer. Hailed as "one of the best books to come out of the Iraq war"( Financial Times ), Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality and camaraderie of a new American War., Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone , this is the raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO(R) original mini-series.

- a***9 (75)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.
