War by Sebastian Junger is a gripping exploration of combat, focusing on the raw and intense experiences of a single platoon during a 15-month tour of duty in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.

Junger's narrative takes you on the ground with these soldiers, revealing the daily reality of facing mortal danger, the deep bonds formed through shared hardship, and the profound questions about humanity and survival.

Through fear, honor, and trust, Junger delves into what it means to fight and serve, capturing the essence of brotherhood in extreme situations. This is a compelling account of modern warfare and the psychological, social, and neurological elements that define it.
