## Description

Based on Captain Matt Gallagher's controversial and popular blog, which the U. S. Army shut down in June 2008, Kaboom is a sardonic, unnerving, one-of-a-kind Iraq war memoir. " At turns hilarious, maddening and terrifying," providing " raw and insightful snapshots of conflict" ( Washington Post ), Kaboom resonates with stoical detachment from and timeless insight into a war that we are still trying to understand.
