War by Sebastian Junger

Sebastian Junger made five trips to eastern Afghanistan between June 2007 and June 2008 as an "embedded" reporter with Battle Company while reporting for Vanity Fair magazine.  The Korengal Outpost was considered one of the most dangerous postings in Afghanistan. War shows what young men experience when they face combat which few people at home can comprehend. Junger and photojournalist Tim Hetherington also made a documentary called Restrepo based on 150 hours of videotape, some of which aired on ABC News. Sebastian Junger is also known for The Perfect Storm. Read more about him here: http://www.sebastianjunger.com/
