内容简介
Book Description
Anthony Swofford's Jarhead is the memoir of a marine who served as a sniper during the Gulf War. Swofford offers a devastating account of the war from the viewpoint of one who experienced it firsthand and lived to tell his story - in all its horror.
Swofford writes of the cruelty of the desert and the madness of war that compelled him to place his own gun in his mouth on one occasion and jam its barrel against a fellow marine's head on another. His experiences are described in vivid detail - suffering in the unforgiving desert sun, taking enemy fire, witnessing countless atrocities, and finally, going home to civilian life.
Swofford guides readers through the hell of armed conflict and the awful realization that for the "jarheads" who served in the Gulf, the world is forever divided between those who were there and those who weren't. Jarhead is a must read for anyone who hopes to understand the often-nameless warriors who serve on the front lines.
