Matthew Currier Burden founded blackfive.net, one of the
most popular military blogs on the Internet. His blog began
as an homage to a friend killed on duty in Iraq and quickly
became a source of information about what was really
happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. In The Blog of
War Burden presents selections from some of the best of
the military blogs, the purest account of the many voices of
this war. This is the first real-time history of a war, a
history written even as the war continues. It offers a
glimpse into the full range of military experiences in
Afghanistan and Iraq, from the decision to enlist right
through to homecoming. There are powerful stories of
soldiers in combat, touching reflections on helping local
victims of terror and war, pulse-racing accounts of med-evac
units and hospitals, and heartbreaking chronicles of spouses
who must cope when a loved one has paid the ultimate price.
The Blog of War provides an uncensored,
intimate, and authentic version of life in the war zone.
Dozens of voices come together in a wartime choir that
conveys better than any second-hand account possibly can
what it is like to serve on the front lines.
