When Marines get sent to war, it can be a very big tragic. Jarheads are what the marines in this book called themselves. In this book, Jarheads were in Iraq fighting a war. Swafford, one of the jarheads, was living a crappy life at the time. He had many near-death experiences, and it didn’t seem as if anything was going right for him. Swafford takes us through the time he had spent at war, through everything he went through and all of his sufferings.
Anthony Swafford did a good job with this book. He really had put us in his shoes and showed us what it was like to be a jarhead. He showed us how it felt to be Swafford from the book. Everything was just there and you were able to just picture it all happening right in front of you. Everything just illustrated itself. It all fitted perfectly.
I would recommend this book to people who like war books. Also to people who like books about war experiences. This book is really a good book and really would just recommend it to anybody. It can have a deep impact on you by just reading it.
