pawact 's review for:

War by Sebastian Junger
4.0

A smart, brisk, moving read that discusses the lives of the soldiers of Third Battalion in the hyper-dangerous Korengal valley. Junger alternately discusses the soldier's lives, describes what his experiences, and then examines the nature of war and why we fight it and what fighting means to young men in general.

This book takes no political sides but you do get a sense of what these men are sacrificing and how it rewires their brains.

Intelligent, funny, piercing and ultimately sad.
