This book follows twenty three Marines from the First Recon Battalion. Evan Wright was embedded with the Marines and wrote a very popular article in Rolling Stone Magazine about the Iraq Invasion. This has been on my to read list for quite some time, and I have been avoiding anything about modern warfare for personal reasons. I finally got around to reading this, and I was not disappointed. I thought this was a very engaging depiction of modern warfare and wartime experiences. I will comment that I would have the worst time getting along with some of the people you are forced to get along with. Some of these guys have insufferable personalities. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book. There is a miniseries on HBO under the same title that I plan to watch.
