Summary
Read about the Penguin Group (USA) partnership with HBO in support of the Generation Kill Troop Drive here.
They were called a generation without heroes.
Then they were called upon to be heroes.
Now a major HBO event, Generation Kill is the national bestselling book based on the National Magazine Award- winning story in Rolling Stone. It is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality and camaraderie of a new American War.
