Clouddancer read and liked Daniel's review of Generation Kill:

Wright is so invisible in the mix that you forget he is riding along in the humvee with the rest of the recon marines. He is able to so skillfully express who these men were and what they are all about, that the entire work reads like fiction. Their complaints and problems sound completely human and honest and Wright makes sure that their imperfections and humanity are what we see. It helps to put the proper face on what happened over there in the most incredible and unendurable of circumstances and maintain sympathy and a sense of honor for our servicemen fighting in Iraq.

This is a great book and a very cool read if you want to know what it was like getting your feet on the ground in the early days of the war. It's right up there with the very excellent war correspondence that has come out of the region over the past years.(less) "
