pickWhat is it like to be stationed for months at a time at a dangerous outpost in war-torn Afghanistan? Sebastian Junger eschews politics and war fighting cliches, instead digging into the most fundamental questions: Who chooses to fight? Why? How does it change them? This book is precise, thoughtful, and as objective as Junger could manage while depending on others for his very life.
I‘m very tempted by today‘s #AudibleDailyDeal I read his book Tribe a couple years ago and was very impressed with it. The hubs actually owns a hardcover of this book and he loved it. I‘m thinking that we may need the audio version as well.
pickThis was a wonderfully, and insightfully written book. It was short, but took me a long time to read because the content and stories of these soldiers kept bringing up to many memories from my days in the war. I very much enjoy this authour as he writes with no agenda other than to give a voice to those who may not have one otherwise. I highly reccomend this book for those who want an insight into today's brave fighting men and women
War is like life multiplied by some number that no one has ever heard of. In some ways 20 minutes of combat is more life than you could scrape together in a lifetime of doing something else. Combat isn't where you might die -though that does happen- it's where you find out whether you get to keep on living. Don't underestimate the power of that revelation. Don't underestimate the things young men will wager in order to play that game one more time
Excited to read this book! I have read The Tribe which is another book by Sebastian Junger and was very impressed. I am always a little wary when journalists write books about the war, but I do like his writing style, and overall approach to sharing his stories. I will post a review after I am done! #bookmail
pickI read this a few years back and thought it was fantastic. A soldiers' account of day to day life while deployed. Very moving - and on sale today! #ebookdeal
