Anthony Swofford, Jarhead. In the summer of 1990, Anthony Swofford, a 20-year-old third-generation enlistee, got sent to the deserts of Kuwait to fight in the first Gulf War. In 2003, his memories of that time in that place became the book Jarhead. Swofford wrote with the urgency, immediacy, honesty and humor that could only come from someone who had lived through the war itself. Swofford’s book spent nine weeks on The NY Times list of best sellers and was hailed in that same publication as “some kind of classic...a bracing memoir of the 1991 Gulf War that will go down with the best books ever written about the military. A wild passage familiar to millions of young men but rarely so well revealed.” |
