Generation Kill är en bok från 2004 skriven av Rolling Stone-journalisten Evan Wright som berättar om sin erfarenhet som inbäddad reporter med 1:a spaningsbataljonen i United States Marine Corps, under 2003 års invasion av Irak. Generation Kill was my favorite movie/tv series (miniseries, somewhere in between) about the Iraq War (specifically the invasion phase). The journalist who rode with the Recon Marines during a high-speed, light force assault deep into Iraq was himself quite brave, and did an excellent job both winning the trust of the Marines and accurately documenting what it was like for them. It was particularly interesting that he was able to clearly describe the various personalities within the unit and how they interacted in a stressful situation, rather than just focusing on the facts and figures of the invasion. I'd probably slightly prefer the miniseries to the book, but both are very good. I saw the television series first, and I thought it was brilliant. The book is of the same quality, though I missed the extra personality injected by seeing it enacted. Lots of nice additional details, but I think the biggest add-on came in the afterword, where the author reflects with incisive criticism on the book, its aftermath, its reactions, and the overall place/state of war in modern America. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
