While we were camping, I read Sebastian Junger's book 'War' . I had seen Restrepo when it was on the NatGeo channel, and the book goes so much more in-depth and really helps you to see what life was like for this unit serving in Afghanistan. It was bittersweet to read the mentions of Tim Hetherington, knowing that he was gone now. (I'd really like to get his book, 'Infidel' now,also)
I had read Junger's' The Perfect Storm' years ago, and his writing is so excellent, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. I highly recommend the book 'War'.
