Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America and the New Face of American War by Evan Wright is a firsthand account of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, focusing on the experiences of a group of U.S. Marines. Wright, embedded with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, provides an unvarnished and often brutal portrayal of modern warfare. The book introduces a range of soldiers, from fearless leaders to troubled individuals, and explores the challenges of combat, including the confusion of war, the moral dilemmas faced by soldiers, and the disillusionment that often follows. Wright’s sharp reporting offers a raw, unfiltered look at the complexities of contemporary warfare and the psychological impact on those who fight. Generation Kill sheds light on the new face of American war, far removed from traditional heroism.
