Add to basketPaperback. Jimmy Stephens makes the worst mistake of his career as a gossip columnist when he wrongly accuses a big star of cheating on his wife. With lawsuits pending, Jimmy's imperious new editor blackmails him into taking the place of the paper's injured front-line war correspondent. Shipped off to the desert and embedded with a group of foulmouthed but fraternal Marines, Jimmy provides a bewildered but unfiltered view of the invasion of Iraq that is alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heartbreaking. Kulishs debut is a stylish satire about a hapless gossip columnist sent to cover the invasion of Iraq. Jimmy Stephens is dropped unprepared into military life. His cowardice is perhaps matched only by his confusion, but he slowly befriends the Marines and gets an unfiltered view of the war. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
