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

Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone, this is the raw, firsthand accountÂ of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO original mini-series.

Within hours of 9/11, Americaâ‚¬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 forebearsâ‚¬"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 â‚¬Å“First Suicide Battalionâ‚¬Â would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq, and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer.

Hailed as â‚¬Å“one of the best books to come out of the Iraq warâ‚¬Â(Financial Times),Â 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.
