About this product

Product Information

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.

Reviews
"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 ."-- ottawa 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 clichs 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. This book, a greatly expanded version of that series, matches its accomplishment. Wright is a perceptive reporter...a personality-driven, readable and insightful look at the Iraq war's first month from the Marine grunt's point of view...compelling portraits...a vivid, well-drawn picture."-- Publishers Weekly "The language is blue, the blood red, and the action explosive. This may be the book of the Iraqi engagement."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch

Generation Kill
This book is a must have for anyone who ever served in a combat zone. It's well written and has a nice photo section. I read this book while in Iraq and I had to buy it. The author does a great job of showing his readers the brother hood that is built between Marines, a brotherhood that can only be forged in fire of combat. You won't be disappointed. Chillyman101

A can't miss book about Iraqi Freedom
This was a great read about the rush to Baghdad as told by a writer from Rolling Stone who was embedded with the 1st Recon Marine's. This book shows the very human side of these men from the their commander Lt. Fick down to the feelings of the men indvidually. If you enjoyed this book or want to read a great book about the USMC I would also suggest One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick

Generation Kill Review
Excellent and informative book. I finished the book in no time, and have re-read it many times. I learned a lot about the military and our soldiers, and I also have to recommend the TV series for any readers who want to learn more about the soldiers themselves.

Great Insight Into Iraq Invasion
Great insight into the heroic young men who put their lives on the line for a policy that they might not have completely understood, but that didn't affect the professionalism and pure courage that they showed in invading an enemy country.
