"

"A pungently written combat narrative and a close-range study of a bunch of twentysomething warriors trying to get a handle on who they are."--Time

"Nuanced and grounded in details often overlooked in daily journalistic accounts...A complex portrait of able young men raised on video games and trained as killers."--The New York Times

"A stellar reporting achievement...Think Black Hawk Down or Michael Herr's Dispatches."--ottawa Citizen

"Shockingly honest."--Entertainment Weekly

"Visceral, sometimes shocking...a brutally honest acount of America's latest generation to experiencethe stark, horrifying realities of warfare."--Boston Herald

"Sidesteps Greatest Generation cliches to find the unexpected--a self-described 'Marine Corps killer' who listens to Barry Manilow, a corporal who compares a gunfight to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City."--The Washington Post

Wright wrote about [his] experience in a three-part series in Rolling Stone that was hailed for its evocative, accurate war reporting. This book, a greatly expanded version of that series, matches its accomplishment. Wright is a perceptive reporter...a personality-driven, readable and insightful look at the Iraq war's first month from the Marine grunt's point of view...compelling portraits...a vivid, well-drawn picture."--Publishers Weekly

"The language is blue, the blood red, and the action explosive. This may be the book of the Iraqi engagement."--Richmond Times-Dispatch

Book Description:
The shocking and visceral story of First Recon - the first unit of marines behind enemy lines in Iraq.
