Generation Kill by Evan Wright.

Great book, watched the miniseries a long time ago then I stumbled across the book at Barnes and Noble and gave it a shot. It is pretty dead on the to miniseries, very entertaining and easy to follow, I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys reading about the middle east.

Outstanding! Easily one of my personal favorite books. Wright does a fantastic job of capturing modern grunt culture and modern warfare at the same time. I freaking love the way he describes low light contact between LAVs and enemy combatants.

Also, I would very much recommend Lt. Fick's autobiography One Bullet Away. There are a lot more anecdotal descriptions of enemy contact during the same time frame, which were unpublished in Wright's book for unknown reasons.

Read one bullet away next.
