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. 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.
My Thoughts: Generation Kill follows First Recon Marines through nail-biting treks, stand offs and gun fights. It's a true story of bravery, comradery and talent from normal guys in a situation that most of us wouldn't even dream of. The people in the book are written in the most vividly honest manner, and I think that this will remain my favourite book for quite some time.
I RATED THIS 10/10
