Synopsis
Through the experiences of 23 Marines who were the first into Iraq in 2003, and who led the charge to Baghdad, journalist Evan Wright provides a ground-level warrior's view of modern combat. Wright provides portraits of the new American soldiers: distinguished by their many pop culture references--video games, the Internet, hip hop, and porn--and, for some, by their born-again Christianity while, for others, by their interest in alternative religion. Wright also discusses their training along with their use of new technology, weapons, and tactics. Wright's often-vivid reporting brings out the one big reality: war is hell.

Through the experiences of 23 Marines who were the first into Iraq in 2003, and who led the charge to Baghdad, journalist Evan Wright provides a soldier's-level view of the fighting, as he records the effects on the well-trained but combat-inexperienced troops. Wright provides portraits of what is clearly a new American soldier--distinguished by their many pop culture references, including references to video games, the Internet, hip hop, and porn and for some by their born-again Christianity and for others by alternative religion. Wright also reviews their training as well as their use of new technology, weapons, and tactics. The reporting is often vivid, bringing out the one big reality: war is hell.

Publisher's Note
A narrative on the lives of twenty-three First Recon marines who led the blitzkrieg on Iraq describes their training, their dangerous entry into suspected ambush points, and the physical and psychological challenges they faced in skirmishes leading to the fall of Baghdad.

Industry Reviews
"[A] much better book than the title would indicate....Given the severe limitations of seeing war through the eyes of the killers, [Evans's] book is nevertheless sensitive, thoughtful, nuanced, and he is able because of his honesty, to capture the sickness and perversion of the battlefield.....As war memoirs go this one is first-rate, as long as we remember that it is a portrait of warriors, not war."
New York Review of Books - Chris Hedges (12/16/2004)
