From the publisher's website:
In WAR Sebastian Junger gives breathtaking insight into the truths of war-- the fear, the honor, and the trust among men. 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 regular basis.
Listen to an Excerpt
I am listening to this now and will post my review once I'm done; in the meantime, Anna at Hachette Books was kind enough to offer you, my readers, a chance to win a copy for yourself!
If you or someone you know are a documentary buff or a war afficionado, this audio is for you. It 'reads' like a documentary into the nitty gritty of the current war in Afghanistan. Stewart Junger is a journalist who lived, ate, and worked with this platoon 24/7. As he says so clearly, "Once you're fighting a war, the politics no longer matter."
BUY IT: You can purchase this book through the publisher's website, at Amazon, and through other online and offline booksellers.

My favorite movie is Battle of the Bulge. It is a very factual show and does a good job of dehollywoodishing the battle.
