Title: I hope he doesn't mean it...
Product review: A remarkable book. Crawford's prose style is clumsy in places, and this is not quite on the level of, say, Caputo's "Rumor of War" or Herr's "Dispatches," but anyone who cares about the young/old men who are doing America's dirty work in Iraq should read "Last True Story." His descriptions of urban combat are remarkable for their coherence and immediacy. And although Crawford's comrades in arms are pretty much indistinguishable except for their names, he has an almost Dickensian gift for making each individual Iraqi (who is usually nameless, and never more than a nickname) a vividly realized human being. Be warned: the last chapter will break your heart.
