Evan Wright writes embedded journalism about soldiers, criminals and subcultures whose internal rules are often very different from their public image. Generation Kill follows US Marines during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, drawing on Wright's time embedded with First Recon and paying close attention to combat, boredom, leadership and military slang. Hella Nation collects reporting on groups including anarchists, porn performers and other American subcultures, while American Desperado, written with Jon Roberts, recounts Roberts's life in organised crime and the cocaine trade. Wright's nonfiction is direct, scene-heavy and comfortable with abrasive voices. It fits war reporting, military nonfiction, true crime and first-person American journalism. Read more Less
