In his breakout bestseller, The Perfect Storm,
Sebastian Junger created "a wild ride that brilliantly
captures the awesome power of the raging sea and the often
futile attempts of humans to withstand it" (Los Angeles
Times Book Review). Now, Junger turns his brilliant and
empathetic eye to the reality of combat--the fear, the
honor, and the trust among men in an extreme situation whose
survival depends on their absolute commitment to one
another. His on-the-ground account follows a single platoon
through a 15-month tour of duty in the most dangerous
outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. Through the
experiences of these young men at war, he shows what it
means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on
a daily basis.
