Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War/Matt Gallagher

Descriere

Based on Captain Matt Gallagher's controversial and popular blog, which the U. S. Army shut down in June 2008, "Kaboom" is a sardonic, unnerving, one-of-a-kind Iraq war memoir. "At turns hilarious, maddening and terrifying," providing "raw and insightful snapshots of conflict" ("Washington Post"), "Kaboom" resonates with stoical detachment from and timeless insight into a war that we are still trying to understand. About the Author: Matt Gallagher joined the Army in 2005 and left in 2009 following a fifteen-month tour in Iraq. He is the author of the critically acclaimed novel, Youngblood. Originally from Reno, Nevada, he now lives in New York City.
