It was one misery upon another. At the end of the war, Swofford hiked for miles through a landscape of incinerated Iraqi soldiers and later was nearly killed in a booby-trapped Iraqi bunker.

Chris OffuttAuthor of No Heroes: A Memoir of Coming HomeJarhead tells us why boys go to war and how they return as men, told by someone who truly knows the perils of battle -- a decorated veteran of the Gulf War. Anthony Swofford's courageous and lyric prose is matched by a searing personal honesty that will break your heart with its compassion. He reveals the inner life of a marine from boot camp to bombardment, to victory and peace. Like all great memoirs of war, humanity is at stake instead of politics. Anthony Swofford entered his adult life as a warrior, but has emerged as an artist of the highest order. This book is a great achievement. Everyone should read it., Joy WilliamsThis is a book that smokes and screams in your hands. With a sniper's cold and unforgiving eye, Swofford has found the nexus between nihilism and language, a language ripped, homegrown, American-made, trashy and lyrical and bold. He hits the troubling, difficult mark again and again in this remarkable memoir. Brash, honest, and most unnerving, Jarhead delivers coruscating and unpleasant truths about war and warriors., Scott AndersonWar journalist and author of Triage and The Man Who Tried to Save the World: The Dangerous Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Fred CunySwofford's Jarhead is not just the finest memoir to emerge from Operation Desert Storm but one of the most honest and compelling accounts of men at arms in a generation. With a keen eye and biting wit, Swofford has rendered the true face of the battlefield -- what it looks and sounds and tastes like -- as only one who has been there can. In an age when politicians are again talking about good and just wars, Jarhead should be required reading for all those who would believe them.
