Generation Kill

March 11, 2008
The Wire is over. Now what? Here's what: Generation Kill. In 2003 a Rolling Stone reporter named Evan Wright embedded himself with US Marines in Iraq and wrote a book about it called Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America, and the New Face of American War. Publisher's Weekly called it "a personality-driven, readable and insightful look at the Iraq War's first month from the Marine grunt's point of view." In July, a 7-hour miniseries based on the book, co-written and co-produced by The Wire's David Simon and Ed Burns, will air on HBO. The book won't entertain you until July, but it's a start.
