Description

Sebastian Junger's War is a gripping narrative about combat that explores the universal truth of all men in war. Over 15 months, Junger accompanied a single platoon of thirty American soldiers as they fought their way through a remote valley in Eastern Afghanistan. The author's relationship with these soldiers grew so close that they considered him part of the platoon, and he enjoyed an access and candor that few journalists ever attain. This book is not just about Afghanistan or the 'War on Terror', but about the human experience of war, delving into the neurological, psychological, and social elements of combat. Through his experiences, Junger sets out to answer a profound question: why would a man throw himself on a hand grenade to save others he has probably known for only a few months? The result is a gripping, honest, and intense exploration of what it means to be human in the face of war.
