Anthony Swofford is an American writer and former U.S. Marine, best known for his 2003 book Jarhead, based heavily on his accounts of various situations encountered in the Persian Gulf War. This memoir was the basis of the 2005 film of the same name, directed by Sam Mendes. The title refers to a nickname for the U.S. Marines, which itself is derived from the traditional high and tight haircuts favored by them, giving them a "jar-like" appearance.
