Book of the Day: War by Sebastian Junger by D - Friday, May 06, 2011 at 2:29pm

War by Sebastian Junger. Over fifteen months, Junger, bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, followed a single platoon based at a remote outpost in eastern Afghanistan. His objective was both simple and ambitious: to convey what soldiers experience and what war actually feels like. He describes what few civilians will ever witness or go through - the endless, body-numbing anticipation of battle; the adrenaline-fueled confusion of being ambushed; the unquestioned risks soldiers take to protect their brothers. Junger shows what it means to fight, to serve and to face down mortal danger.
