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. 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.
