Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone, this is the raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO(R) original mini-series. Within hours of 9/11, America's war on terrorism fell to those like the twenty-three Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam. They were a new pop-culture breed of American warrior unrecognizable to their forebears--soldiers raised on hip hop, video games and The Real World. Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional and moral horrors ahead, the "First Suicide Battalion" would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq, and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer. Hailed as "one of the best books to come out of the Iraq war"(Financial Times), Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality and camaraderie of a new American War.Binding Type: Paperback

Clyburn captures the past to warn us about the present and future.
Format: Hardcover
I enjoy this book. The history of white Conservatives first taking the black vote away by domestic terrorism and violence and then changing the rules to make getting the vote back nearly impossible explains the 70 year gap between the first eight and the ninth (Clyburn). He mixes the past record of lying and dirty tricks of Conservatives with current events that attempt to bring about the same result. Thanks for all of your work in bringing this great history. It should admonish all of us to work to make sure we don't fall victim to the lying and dirty tricks of the Conservatives of the present.

Living History.
Format: Hardcover
I’m a Republican who met Jim Clyburn in a very non-political environment: a golf course. Politics aside, he’s an absolute legend. He’s a living history book. This book is a look back on history where politicians worked for you, not their party.

Engaging and Relevant to our Times
Format: Kindle
These days more than ever this work is important. Rep. Clyburn's engaging prose is both personal and matter-of-fact, and provides much needed perspective on an often-neglected but most important part of our history.
