![]() ![]() ![]() And I love to be proven wrong by this, but it’s just an issue with the format. One reason is that blog to book people rarely repeat their performance they’re almost always one-shot wonders. I hate when people repackage blogs into books. Then I started the book, and found out that he’d kept a blog during his time in Iraq, and this was a book made from the blog, and my heart sank. All I knew was that Rollins liked him, and the book was well-blurbed. I didn’t even know if he lost his arms and legs from a car bomb, or if he was now a regular commentator on Fox News. I didn’t know if he was a staunch anti-war type, or a flag-waving republican. Going into it, I knew nothing about it, none of the background, his history, and I never read his blog. I wasn’t set to go down the military history wormhole and start reading books about Iraq, but while I was going through one of the Henry Rollins journal books, he mentioned Buzzell’s memoir, and I picked up a copy. ![]()
