Jarhead : A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles by Anthony Swofford

---

I wasn't a big fan of the U.S. Military before reading this book and am even less so afterwards. This is because Swofford does an excellent job of portraying his experiences, from enlistment to returning home. The last 50 pages, while he is at war itself, can drag.
