Generation Kill is based on a book written by Evan Wright, a journalist from Rolling Stone who accompanied a recon battalion into combat. If you're watching the show, the journalist (the guy who will always be Beecher from Oz) is the one who wrote the book. He had to convince a commander that he could handle the assignment and was actually in danger throughout much of the war. Some of the marines were angry with him for his depiction of them during the war. Here's the articles he wrote that became the book, part 1, part 2 and part 3.
