War Is [Funny as] Hell: Stories from a Year in the Israeli ArmyJoel Chasnoff and Anthony Swofford / A. J. Jacobs, moderator

The author of Jarhead and a Persian Gulf War veteran, Anthony Swofford joins comedian and former Israeli soldier Joel Chasnoff to examine the sick—and, at times, disturbingly hilarious—culture of modern war, from the psyche of the American marine to the Israeli mission in Lebanon.
