4: Anthony Swofford - 'Jarhead': Truth, Masculinity and Memoir

In this episode I'm chatting about Anthony Swofford's memoir of the Gulf War 'Jarhead'. Is it possible to find any truth in memoirs? How reliable is the memoir, particularly when it focuses on something as traumatic as war? And how important a role does masculinity play in young men signing up to war?Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jmalstonFollow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebibliographerMy version: Anthony Swofford, 'Jarhead: A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War', London: Scribner, 2003.Image of Anthony Swofford by Dan Winters for Simon & Schuster.
