Overview

In WAR, New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Junger turns his brilliant and empathetic eye to the reality of combat—the fear, the honor, and the trust among men in an extreme situation whose survival depends on their absolute commitment to one another. This groundbreaking Enriched Edition of WAR features nearly an hour of riveting video - culled from 150 hours of footage - shot by Junger and British photographer Tim Hetherington. Their unprecedented access allowed them to chronicle one platoon's experience throughout an entire 15-month deployment in the most exposed outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. This Enriched Edition includes:

• Nearly an hour of video footage shot by Junger and Hetherington as part of their award-winning documentary, Restrepo • Exclusive video footage prepared specifically for the eBook that has never been seen in theaters • Photographs detailing the experiences of the soldiers at the Korengal Outpost (10 photos) • Audio of Sebastian Junger reading an excerpt of WAR (26 minutes) In the Enriched Edition of WAR, readers can witness first-hand the experiences of these young men at war, and see what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a daily basis.
