“You’re going up the Valley.” Black didn’t know its name, but he knew it lay deeper and
higher than any other place Americans had ventured. You had
to travel through a network of interlinked valleys, past all
the other remote American outposts, just to get to its
mouth. Everything about the place was myth and rumor, but
one fact was clear: There were many valleys in the mountains
of Afghanistan, and most were hard places where people died
hard deaths. But there was only one Valley. It was the
farthest, and the hardest, and the worst. When Black, a deskbound admin officer, is sent up the Valley
to investigate a warning shot fired by a near-forgotten
platoon, he can only see it as the final bureaucratic insult
in a short and unhappy Army career. What he doesn’t know is
that his investigation puts at risk the centuries-old
arrangements that keep this violent land in fragile balance,
and will launch a shattering personal odyssey of obsession
and discovery as Black reckons with the platoon’s dark
secrets, accumulated over endless hours fighting and dying
in defense of an indefensible piece of land. The Valley is a riveting tour de force that changes our
understanding of the men who fight our wars and announces
John Renehan as one of the great American storytellers of
our time.
