Generation Kill See more

Generation Kill is a raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO® original mini-series.

Written by Evan Wright, this book provides an unflinching look at the personal toll of victory and the randomness, brutality, and camaraderie of a new American War.

Through the eyes of the "First Suicide Battalion," readers will experience the funny, frightening, and profane realities of combat and the complex portrait of able young men raised on video games and trained as killers.

With nuanced reporting and grounded details often overlooked in daily journalistic accounts, Generation Kill is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true nature of warfare.
