'Generation
Kill' - a seven part miniseries from HBO Films - "follows the
highly trained Marines of First Recon Battalion through the
first 40 days of the Iraq War. The miniseries portrays the
true story of the young Marines' experience at the tip of the
spear of the American invasion, as they contend with equipment
shortages, incompetent commanding officers, ever evolving
rules of engagement, and an unclear strategy. 'Generation
Kill' is based on the award-winning
book by Evan Wright, who
was embedded with First Recon and originally reported the
story in a series of articles for Rolling Stone." (HBO)
