GENERATION KILL - EVAN WRIGHT KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
