Yesterday I finished Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America and The New Face of American War by Evan Wright. It's a non-fiction marine platoon level account of the invasion of Iraq. Very little analysis of the war as a whole. It was both sad and funny. I enjoyed it. At times, it reminded me of The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer, especially in regard to how officers and enlisted experience war differently.
