Biographical account.

This is not just the finest memoir to emerge from Operation Desert Storm but one of the most honest and compelling accounts of men at arms in a generation. With a keen eye and biting wit, Swofford has rendered the true face of the battlefield - what it looks and sounds and tastes like - as only one who has been there can. In an age when politicians are again talking about good and just wars, "Jarhead' should be required reading for all those who would believe them.
