Title: Humorous yet informative
Review: Chris Ayres in War Reporting for Cowards is an entertaining read. Will it win the Pulitzer? Nope. Will it go down in history with other books about war? Maybe. Will you be glad you read the book? Yup.I thought the most entertaining parts of War Reporting for Cowards are those sections dealing with the Marines he was attached and the war itself. There is a lot of personal history that Ayres includes that may be important, but I found to be distracting. I especially liked Ayres story of his first few minutes at Camp Grizzly. Approached by a young Marine who wants to banter a few lines from Full Metal Jacket, Ayres finally catches on. Truly irreverent but so truly typical of Marines.An easy read, War Reporting for Cowards will give you a view of the war in Iraq not available anywhere else.
