Wright, Evan. //Generation Kill//. New York: Penguin Group, 2004, 2008. N. pag .Print Evan Wright is a journalist, editor, and author, as well as a contributor to TIME, ESPN, Hustler, LA Weekly, Men's Journal, and the New York Times. The book, Generation Kill, has also been adapted into a 7- Part mini series from HBO. Wright followed the first battalion of the First Marine Division through Baghdad. His technology resources were limited, but he was reimbursed with first hand accounts as he watched. The scope of Wright’s work was one of an informational report on the accounts of the men in the platoon he joined as they traveled directly to Baghdad. Evan Wright’s direct drive was to thoroughly show the accounts of military men as he spent two months in a Marine Corps Battalion during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His purpose of the book follows the true accounts of each soldier’s life as Wright takes an un-biased view of what’s going on, but tells each soldier’s story exactly as it came. Individual interviews as well as quotes from the battalion are recorded as well as events from the experience, positives, failures, injuries and defeats. Though I have not successfully and fully completed the book yet, main arguments are mainly described as events take place with the Iraq military and the full force combat battles that take place. The work that Evan Wright completed in his book is completely logical and well researched because they are actual factual events that he had accounted while stationed in Iraq. It is a true based account with true issues. The author hasn't really taken an objective stance in the books issues, he more or less just told events as they played out. A position was not clear for Wright either because he didn't stand at any particular point. He based his opinions on factual evidence and completed the book in a true position.
