War by Sebastian Junger is a unique take on the battle in Afghanistan through the eyes of a journalist who lived among the young soldiers fighting in the Korengal Valley. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Storm and Fire comes an unfiltered picture of what it means to be a soldier who is fighting in Afghanistan. War is disorienting and authentic and not in the least bit entertaining; but we think it is one of the best books of the year so far.
Junger's experiences were also captured in a documentary, Restrepo, which has garnered much critical acclaim.
