I picked up this book because it was mentioned on the PRI radio show This American Life, and I am quite interested in personal narratives. I found this book to be a great lens to view the chaotic years that followed the fall of Saddam Hussain. The two voices that tell this story are not government officials or military personnel, but two members of Gen Y, looking for something meaningful to throw themselves into after deciding that college wasn't really working out for them.
The protagonists are not your average heros; they drink and smoke, do drugs, and might act a bit impulsive. However, their hearts are in the right place, and nobody can deny that they had the adventure they were seeking.
If you are interested in current events, war-torn regions, humanitarian aid, or travel writing, this book would be for you.
