They were called a generation without heroes. Then they were called upon to be heroes. Within hours of 9/11, America's war on terrorism fell to those like the 23 Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam.

They were a new breed of American warriors unrecognizable to their forebears - soldiers raised on hip-hop, Internet porn, Marilyn Manson, video games, and The Real World, a band of born-again Christians, dopers, Buddhists, and New Agers who gleaned their precepts from kung fu movies and Oprah Winfrey.

Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary, and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional, and moral horrors ahead, the "First Suicide Battalion" would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer.

Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality, and camaraderie of a new American war.

The book gives a interesting look into the invasion of Iraq and the role of first recon battalion. The story gives a uncensored look in to the reality the marines faced on the ground good and bad. The narration while okay left a lot to be desired and detracts from the story a bit. If you have seen the HBO mini series and enjoyed it you will enjoy this book; and you will enjoy tv series just a little bit more. #Audible1

Great Book, Mediocre Narration

Patrick Lawlor was the wrong man to read out Generation Kill. that being said, GK is my favorite book about war and the standard against which all others are judged.

The most realistic account of the modern fighting man's war I've ever come across.
