Matthew Currier Burden founded www.blackfive.net, one of the most
popular military blogs on the Internet. His blog began as an homage
to a friend killed on duty in Iraq and quickly became a source of
information about what was really happening in Afghanistan and
Iraq.
In "The Blog of War" Burden presents selections from some of the
best of the military blogs, the purest account of the many voices
of this war. This is the first real-time history of a war, a
history written even as the war continues. It offers a glimpse into
the full range of military experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq,
from the decision to enlist right through to homecoming. There are
powerful stories of soldiers in combat, touching reflections on
helping local victims of terror and war, pulse-racing accounts of
med-evac units and hospitals, and heartbreaking chronicles of
spouses who must cope when a loved one has paid the ultimate price.
"The Blog of War" provides an uncensored, intimate, and authentic
version of life in the war zone. Dozens of voices come together in
a wartime choir that conveys better than any second-hand account
possibly can what it is like to serve on the front lines.
