内容简介:
“Generation Kill” is about the young men sent to fight their nation’s first open-ended war since Vietnam. Despite the flurry of media images to come of the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, you have never really met any of these people, who serve as front-line troops. For whatever reason, the media simply doesn’t get them. As we all know, news accounts of the last two wars focused almost exclusively on battlefield imagery of high-tech weapons wreaking astounding destruction, comply with analysis from retired army grandees and other experts, punctuated by the odd heart-warming patriotic sound-bite. The troops themselves play a role in the media’s presentation of recent wars rather like extras in “The Triumph of the Will”. They are everywhere yet somehow invisible. When they speak you get the sense that what they are saying has been carefully scripted.Now “Generation Kill” tells the soldiers’ story in their own words. The narrative focuses on a platoon of 23 marines, many of them veterans of Afghanistan, whose elite reconnaissance unit spearheaded the blitzkrieg on Iraq. This is the story of young men that have been trained to become ruthless killers. It’s about surviving death. It’s about taking part in a war many questioned before it even began. Evan Wright was the only reporter with First Recon, which operated well ahead of most other forces, usually behind enemy lines. They were among the first marines sent into the fight and one of the last units still engaged on the outskirts of Iraq, even after the city centre fell. “Generation Kill” is not just a combat chronicle but an inside look at how people fighting in war actually experience it. It is both an action narrative like “Black Hawk Down” and a detailed portrait of a generation at war along the lines of “Band of Brothers”. It is not a book you are going to forget in a hurry.
作者简介:
Evan Wright is a contributing editor on Rolling Stone magazine. He spent two months living with a platoon of Marine reconnaissance soldiers during the war in Iraq.
原文摘录:
Less than half an hour before, Colbert had been talking about stress reactions in combat. In addition to the embarrassing loss of bodily control that 25 percent of all soldiers experience, other symptoms include time dilation, a sense of time slowing down or speeding up; vividness, a starkly heightened awareness of detail; randomthoughts, the mind fixating on unimportant sequences; memory loss; and, of course, your basic feelings of sheer terror.
The look on Colbert’s face is almost serene.
I study Person’s face for signs of panic, fear or death. My worry is he’ll get shot or freak out and we’ll be stuck on this street. But Person seems fine. He’s slouched over the wheel, looking through the windshield, an almost blank expression on his face. The only thing different about him is he’s not… (查看原文)

Fick pokeshis head in the window, grinning. “Present for you.” He passes in a small water bottle, filled with about two inches of amber fluid. “LSA,” he says.
“I scammed it off some guys in RCT-1.”
“Sir, not to get homoerotic about this,” Colbert says. “But I couldkiss you.” (查看原文)
