Title: Great first book
Review: Though set in the days as a Marine in the 1st Gulf War the book is about the man, not war. We all set off down the road of life, some stop along the way in the military where we are forever changed. This is a difficult stop if you are a thinking man, as the military does not like you to question what is going on at all. Swofford thinks; a talent lost in much of America.Swofford is a young writer with great promise. I got to know him from his book. I liked him and the book and hope this is not his high point, I hope he goes on to write more with the same gutsy style and honesty. I have heard him interviewed on NPR and he was interesting and thought provoking clever and fresh. This was my favorite book of 2003
