Jarhead : A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles

I thought this was a very realistic portrayal of what the first Gulf War was like for the average soldier. This is the book that the movie was based on, so if you liked the movie, you will like the book. (Actually to me, the book was better than the movie, but you decide!)
