{"product_id":"buzzell-colby-my-war-9780552154376","title":"My War","description":"'Once we passed the checkpoint at the border it hit me. I was like Holy Shit this is it I'm entering a combat zone. Cool!'\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt twenty-six Colby Buzzell unemployed and living at home decided to join the US Army. Within months he was in Iraq a machine gunner in the controversial Stryker Brigade Combat Team an army unit on the cutting edge of combat technology and the first of its kind.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTrapped amid 'guerrilla warfare urban-style' in Mosul Iraq Buzzell was struck by the bizarre and often frightening world surrounding him. He began writing a blog describing the war - not as being reported by CNN or official briefings - but as experienced by the soldier on the ground. His story is a brutally honest and hard-hitting account of the absurdities of modern war. These are the real stories of the war: a firefight where the resistance came from 'men in black'; a night spent chain-smoking in the guard tower counting the tracer bullets being fired over the city; and the hesitation of a young soldier who had been passed around from platoon to platoon because he was too afraid to fight. My War is a powerful story of a young man and a war unlike any you have read before.","brand":"Corgi","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53402928349526,"sku":"9780552154376-V","price":3.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780552154376_1.jpg?v=1784220932","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/buzzell-colby-my-war-9780552154376","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
