WAR WAR

Publisher Description

In his breakout bestseller, The Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger created "a wild ride that brilliantly captures the awesome power of the raging sea and the often futile attempts of humans to withstand it" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

Now, 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. His on-the-ground account follows a single platoon through a 15-month tour of duty in the most dangerous outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. Through the experiences of these young men at war, he shows what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a daily basis.

Credit?

Probably a dumb question but any chance for a credit to those of us who bought the first edition? Awesome book and I would love to see the new footage. I have no problem paying for the new stuff just hate buying the book twice. Just thought I'd ask. I'll probably buy it anyway . . .
