"I remember reading Colby''s journal entries on the internet when he was filing them from Iraq and being amazed at how, besides how heavy the material was, how sharp and vividly intense his writing was. My War is the real deal reportage from the ground. There''s no way any reporter could have brought this back. If you care about our brave soldiers in the fray and want to get an insight into what it''s really like out there, My War is essential reading...I''ll take Colby''s word over a journalist''s any day." - Henry Rollins "Soul-jarring observations and darkly comedic insights into what it really means to be fighting and idling in this war." - Los Angeles Times Magazine "Reminiscent of Michael Herr's Dispatches ." - The Wall Street Journal "Remarkably blunt, honest, and often hilarious." - Chicago Sun-Times "Profound, profane...told with irresistible gallows humor and anger devoid of self-consciousness.

Synopsis
Trapped amid "guerrilla warfare, urban-style" in Mosul, Iraq, Buzzell was struck by the bizarre, absurd, often frightening world surrounding him. He began writing an online web log describing the war--not as it was being reported by CNN or in briefings on Capitol Hill, but as he experienced it., Skateboarding party animal Colby Buzzell traded a dead-end future for the army-and ended up a machine gunner in Iraq. To make sense of the bloody insanity surrounding him, he started a blog about the war and how it differed from the government's official version. As his blog's popularity grew, Buzzell became the embedded reporter the Army couldn't control-despite its often comical efforts to do so. The result is an extraordinary narrative, rich with unforgettable scenes: the Iraqi woman crying uncontrollably during a raid on her home; the soldier too afraid to fight; the troops chain-smoking in a guard tower and counting tracer rounds. Drawing comparisons to everything from Charles Bukowski to "Catch-22," "My War" depicts a generation caught in a complicated and dangerous world-and marks the debut of a raw, remarkable new voice., An underemployed, skateboarding party animal, Colby Buzzell traded a dead-end future for the army--and ended up as a machine gunner in Iraq. To make sense of the absurd and frightening events surrounding him, he started writing a blog about the war--and how it differed from the government's official version. But as his blog's popularity grew, Buzzell became the embedded reporter the Army couldn't control--despite its often hilarious efforts to do so. The result is an extraordinary narrative, rich with unforgettable scenes: the Iraqi woman crying uncontrollably during a raid on her home; the soldier too afraid to fight; the troops chain-smoking in a guard tower and counting tracer rounds; the first, fierce firefight against the "men in black." Drawing comparisons to everything from Charles Bukowski to Catch-22 , My War depicts a generation caught in a complicated and dangerous world--and marks the debut of a raw, remarkable new voice.
