Rezensionen
Generation kill : Devil Dogs, Iceman och captain… von Evan Wright
Generation Kill är en bok från 2004 skriven av Rolling Stone-journalisten Evan Wright som berättar om sin erfarenhet som inbäddad reporter med 1:a spaningsbataljonen i United States Marine Corps, under 2003 års invasion av Irak.
Great on-the-ground reporting of the Iraq War's first week. Wright occasionally tries too hard to get into the heads of the Recon Marines, but for the most part he provides an even keeled account that demonstrates how the war's early successes laid the groundwork for the quagmire that followed.
Generation Kill was my favorite movie/tv series (miniseries, somewhere in between) about the Iraq War (specifically the invasion phase). The journalist who rode with the Recon Marines during a high-speed, light force assault deep into Iraq was himself quite brave, and did an excellent job both winning the trust of the Marines and accurately documenting what it was like for them. It was particularly interesting that he was able to clearly describe the various personalities within the unit and how they interacted in a stressful situation, rather than just focusing on the facts and figures of the invasion.
I'd probably slightly prefer the miniseries to the book, but both are very good.… (mehr)

A collection of interviews/vignettes about weird people in the US. Some were really exceptionally interesting, some were so boring that I skipped, some were deeply disturbing. Probably would be better as a set of long-form magazine articles than a book, but as long as you're comfortable skipping the sections which weren't worth reading (and it's obvious after a page or two), a decent collection.
