Now a Major Motion Picture from Universal Pictures....

New York Times bestselling author Anthony Swofford weaves his experiences in war with vivid accounts of boot camp, reflections on the mythos of the marines, and remembrances of battles with lovers and family.

When the U.S. Marines -- or "jarheads" -- were sent to Saudi Arabia in 1990 for the first Gulf War, Anthony Swofford was there. He lived in sand for six months, he was punished by boredom and fear, he considered suicide, pulled a gun on a fellow marine, and was targeted by both enemy and friendly fire. And as engagement with the Iraqis drew near, he was forced to consider what it means to be an American, a soldier, a son of a soldier, and a man.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly.
