Evan Wright is a contributing editor on Rolling Stone magazine. He spent two months living with a platoon of Marine reconnaissance soldiers during the war in Iraq.
Book Description
Tie-in edition about the shocking and visceral story of First Recon - the first unit of marines behind enemy lines in Iraq.
Product Description
Generation Kill is about the young men sent to fight their nation's first open-ended war since Vietnam. Despite the flurry of media images to come of the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, you have never really met any of these people, who serve as front-line troops. For whatever reason, the media simply doesn't get them. As we all know, news accounts of the last two wars focused almost exclusively on battlefield imagery of high-tech weapons wreaking astounding destruction, comply with analysis from retired army grandees and other experts, punctuated by the odd heart-warming patriotic sound-bite. The troops themselves play a role in the media's presentation of recent wars rather like extras in The Triumph of the Will. They are everywhere yet somehow invisible. When they speak you get the sense that what they are saying has been carefully scripted. Now Generation Kill tells the soldiers' story in their own words.
The narrative focuses on a platoon of 23 marines, many of them veterans of Afghanistan, whose elite reconnaissance unit spearheaded the blitzkrieg on Iraq. This is the story of young men that have been trained to become ruthless killers. It's about surviving death. It's about taking part in a war many questioned before it even began.
Evan Wright was the only reporter with First Recon, which operated well ahead of most other forces, usually behind enemy lines. They were among the first marines sent into the fight and one of the last units still engaged on the outskirts of Iraq, even after the city centre fell. Generation Kill is not just a combat chronicle but an inside look at how people fighting in war actually experience it. It is both an action narrative like Black Hawk Down and a detailed portrait of a generation at war along the lines of Band of Brothers. It is not a book you are going to forget in a hurry...
如果你是一位美军军事迷,光看电影还不够。为了在吹嘘中提高层次,你还得看书。 史蒂芬.安布罗斯的《兄弟连》,描写的是二战中空降兵。 马克.鲍顿的《黑影坠落》,记录的是游骑兵和三角洲特种部队。 而这本埃温.怀特的《杀戮地带》,对象可是大名鼎鼎的海军陆战队。 想比起...
评分能够有 Generation Kill 的随军记者视角和 One Bullet Away 的参战军官视角对比参考实在件太难得。Wright 的 GK 对底层官兵有着全面细致的塑造和毫无保留的褒贬,Fick 的 OBA 则努力不透露出对上下级主观的评判;Wright 的文字在记录亲眼所见与讲解整体战略之间做到了极好的平...
评分我更喜欢原书名《杀戮的一代》。 一开始,真的没有把握把这本400来页的书读完,因为对自己没有信心。读下来,虽然不能说欲罢不能,倒也引人入胜。尤其一些对于战争的残酷描写,因为作者用了一种云淡风轻的笔调,反倒让人心生震撼。加上作者本身并不是一名军人,相对于战...
评分高三那一年,有位同学送了我一本书当作生日礼物,《我钻进了金字塔》,唐师曾写的,看完之后欲罢不能,后来再去看了他写的《我从战场归来》。高考结束,填写志愿,我在所有类别学校的第一专业上都填上“新闻”,真的幻想着倘若有一天当上战地记者…… 一入新闻系大门,就是七年...
