Based on Evan Wright's National Magazine Award-winning story in Rolling Stone, this is the raw, firsthand account of the 2003 Iraq invasion that inspired the HBO(R) original mini-series.

Within hours of 9/11, America's war on terrorism fell to those like the twenty-three Marines of the First Recon Battalion, the first generation dispatched into open-ended combat since Vietnam. They were a new pop-culture breed of American warrior unrecognizable to their forebears--soldiers raised on hip hop, video games and The Real World. Cocky, brave, headstrong, wary and mostly unprepared for the physical, emotional and moral horrors ahead, the "First Suicide Battalion" would spearhead the blitzkrieg on Iraq, and fight against the hardest resistance Saddam had to offer.

Hailed as "one of the best books to come out of the Iraq war"(Financial Times), Generation Kill is the funny, frightening, and profane firsthand account of these remarkable men, of the personal toll of victory, and of the randomness, brutality and camaraderie of a new American War.

Great for your truck when you need just a little extra place to haul groceries.
Size: 59 inches
When you run out of room in the back seat of the truck, this is a little way to add a little structure and keep it from rolling around on the trip home. These are great in that they have compartments, as well as provide a wall to keep things form slamming to the front when you hit the breaks.

Quality product, the double netting is great compared to single
Size: Doube Layer
It is a double net. It holds items down and is really stretchy which is great. Feels strong and has multiple carabiners/loops to tie down whatever you are hauling.

Compact, stretches over loads, wish it had a bag.
Size: Doube Layer
I am giving the double layer netted version of this product, for my uses, a 5 star, though there are two negatives to consider up front. 1. There is no storage bag included. 2. And the 6 caribeaners included are too cheezie to trust. Yes, the caribeaners will hold the net, and I assume your heavy loads will be strapped down before netting it. So I did install them in the straps just because. Bur I'll be putting the thick straps around the edge over bed hooks. I can't speak on how the single layer net would work, but you really will think after getting the double layer, that was the right choice. The mesh is tightly made and should hold even the messiness bag of trash in your truck bed from blowing out if you get the double layer. When you stretch the net out, it does act like a membrane, so you need several hooks around your bed or trailer. It stretched tightly around 5.5 x 7.5 1975 Datson pickup bed trailer. As you remember these beds have hooks all the way around and a curled lip surrounding the top. So this is perfect for full edge coverage. But if you have few hooks, the net will pull inward between the points lile a membrane would. If you need a stiff heavy duty throw over style net, this is not it. After hooked down, there is a great amount of stretch to cover good sized loads. This net is also excellent for containing a tarp covered load, keeping the tarp from coming loose and flapping around in the wind which is always a challenge on long trips. Also it will help contain brush and trash so that ENCON won't ticket you for uncovered loads. Light weight, easy to use, and it should hold up well for the price. Use one of those left over Ryobe tool bags you have laying around, and some better dollar-store caribeaners, and you'll be ser!
