Official synopsis Publisher
When his boss offers Chris Ayres an assignment embedded with US Marines on the front line in Iraq, he’s too cowardly to say no. He soon finds himself camped in the desert, blinded by sandstorms, surrounded by military machismo on all sides. He decides he wants out. But this, his greatest act of cowardice, will almost kill him.
War Reporting for Cowards is an extraordinary true story and the debut of a brilliant new voice. A hilarious cross between Scoop and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, it is a seditious insight into the political events that have defined the century.
