My War: Killing Time in Iraq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My War: Killing Time in Iraq (ISBN 0-399-15327-6) by Colby Buzzell is a book recounting the author's November 2003 - January 2005 deployment of post-invasion Iraq in the U.S. Army.
My War focuses on the down-to-earth experiences of a soldier, chronicling the daily life, absurdities and ennui in addition to the combat events. Its blunt, unrefined style has been praised for honesty as well as criticized for the heavy use of profanities. It incorporates some material from Buzzell's early journal and much from his later milblog of the same name, which became highly popular in its scant few weeks of operation.
"My War by Colby Buzzell is nothing less than the soul of an extremely interesting human being at war on our behalf in Iraq." -Kurt Vonnegut
