Full Metal Jacket Diary
is a book written by American author, actor and photographer Matthew Modine and released October 25, 2005. The book contains photos and diary entries of his experiences over a two-year period while working on the film.
Modine played the lead role of Private Joker, a U.S. Marine who is sent to Vietnam as a war correspondent. While filming, Modine was encouraged by Kubrick to keep a diary of his experiences.
