A Marine’s journal

Longtime readers may remember my post about Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines. Now their most famous alumnus, Brian Taylor, has had part of his journal serialized in the Wall Street Journal. It makes for gripping reading, not least because Cpl Taylor has a real facility with the language. Here are parts 1, 2 (“Into Iraq”), and 3 (“The March to Baghdad”). Part 4’s coming this Friday. I understand that he’s working on a book, which I’m eager to read.
