Skateboarding party animal Colby Buzzell traded a dead-end
future for the army-and ended up a machine gunner in Iraq.
To make sense of the bloody insanity surrounding him, he
started a blog about the war and how it differed from the
government's official version. As his blog's popularity
grew, Buzzell became the embedded reporter the Army couldn't
control-despite its often comical efforts to do so. The result is an extraordinary narrative, rich with
unforgettable scenes: the Iraqi woman crying uncontrollably
during a raid on her home; the soldier too afraid to fight;
the troops chain-smoking in a guard tower and counting
tracer rounds. Drawing comparisons to everything from
Charles Bukowski to Catch-22, My War depicts a generation
caught in a complicated and dangerous world-and marks the
debut of a raw, remarkable new voice.
