Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America and The New Face of American War

The book "First Blood in Iraq" is a gripping and insightful account of the lives of 23 First Recon Marines who led the blitzkrieg on Iraq.

Through their training, dangerous entry into suspected ambush points, and skirmishes leading to the fall of Baghdad, Wright provides a personal and readable look at the Iraq War's first month from the Marine grunt's point of view.

With compelling portraits of young, street-smart Marines dedicated to killing the enemy, the book also sheds light on the unsettling combination of feeble and vicious resistance put up by the Iraqi army and their Syrian allies against American forces.

Despite the challenges they faced, the Marines' main problem was sorting out civilians from enemy fighters.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the experiences of the brave men and women who fought in the Iraq War.

With 125,000 first printing, this book is sure to be a bestseller.
