1 .My war : killing time in Iraq / Colby Buzzell.
Buzzell, Colby
London : Corgi, 2006.
Summary: Review: "Like many young men of his generation, Colby Buzzell was without a job, living at home with his parents. He spent his time hanging out at the skateboard park and drinking as much as humanly possible. Tired of the monotony and without any inspiring prospects, he decided, like his father before him, to join the Army. Within month he was in Iraq, hanging out of a Stryker vehicle, banging away with an M240 Bravo machine gun - and he found that he had something to say." "This is the startlingly honest story of a young man and war. Once he was deployed near Mosul with the 1st Battalion, 23rd Regiment, Buzzell toted heavy weaponry into "guerrilla warfare, urban style," and was struck by the absurd, often frightening world around him. He began writing a blog to make sense of his experience - and to make clear the ways in which it differed from what was being reported in the news and intelligence briefings from Washington, D.C.".
Summary: "The result is rich with unforgettable scenes: the raid on an Iraqi home during which a woman couldn't stop screaming; the fierce firelight where the resistance came for the first time from "men in black" - obviously Al Qaeda; the hesitation of a young soldier too scared to fight; and the time spent chain-smoking in the guard tower, counting tracer rounds being fired over the city. And as the popularity of Buzell's blog grew, it became clear that he had become the embedded reporter the Army couldn't control, despite its best, and often hilarious, efforts to do so."--BOOK JACKET.
