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, leading 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 woefully inexperienced troops. Wright provides portraits of what is clearly a new American soldier: the troops are distinguished by their many pop-culture references, including video games, the Internet, hip hop, and porn, and for some by either born-again Christianity or alternative religions. Wright also reviews their training and their use of new technology, weapons, and tactics. The reporting is often vivid, emphasizing the one inescapable reality: war is hell.
