I was excited to discover this book--always interested in accurate accounts. Unfortunately I didn't get but a few pages into the book before becoming annoyed by the authors self-promoting. It's clear that this is a classic example of a reporter using the military to promote his own career without giving proper credit. Military men and women typically don't think much of embedded reporters, and this is a good example of why. Unfortunately the Marines in this book got the shaft when it comes to the proper telling of their story.
I won't be finishing the book, in fact, I'll be returning it. Semper Fi to the men who sacrificed so much so that this reporter could make some money.Get more detail about Generation Kill.
