Recenzii
"With
his
narrative
gifts
and
vivid
prose
--
as
free,
thank
God,
of
literary
posturing
as
it
is
of
war-correspondent
chest-thumping
--
Junger
masterfully
chronicles
the
platoon's
15-month
tour
of
duty...Junger
makes
us
see
the
terror,
monotony,
misery,
comradeship
and
lunatic
excitement
that
have
been
elements
of
all
wars
since,
say,
the
siege
of
Troy.
He
thus
becomes
a
kind
of
21st-century
battle
singer,
narrating
the
deeds
and
misdeeds
of
his
heroes
while
explaining
what
makes
them
do
what
they
do...It's
the
best
writing
I've
seen
on
the
subject
since
J.
Glenn
Gray's
1959
classic,The
Warriors:
Reflections
on
Men
in
Battle.
.
.
.
Junger's
sketches
of
the
men
are
deft,
his
ear
for
their
quirky
speech
(aided
by
video
recordings)
spot
on
.
.
.
This
splendid
book
should
help
the
rest
of
us
understand
them
--
and
war
itself
--
a
little
better."—Philip
Caputo,Washington
Post
"Absorbing and original . . . Junger is aiming for more than just a boots-on-the-ground narrative of the travails of fighting men . . . .WARstrives to offer not just a picture of American fighting men but a discourse on the nature of war itself. This is no small ambition . . . He writes some beautiful sentences about this ugly world."—Dexter Filkins,New York Times Book Review
"With his blue-eyed, chiseled and starting-to-grizzle looks, Junger is just the specimen Hollywood would cast as a foreign correspondent in Afghanistan to ensure a box office hit...But to assume that Junger had easy access diminishes his reporting skills and his commitment to the story. At age 48, he's a generation older than most of the soldiers he accompanied into combat over the course of their 15-month deployment and who instinctively put up their guard against an outsider...The resulting book is written in the first person, but it is observational, offering no critique of the combat he witnessed, taking no position on the efficiency, logic or value of the war. He offers a close-up view of men and the raw elements of war: fear and courage, killing and death, love and brotherhood."—Marjorie Miller,Los Angeles Times
"It is a gripping account of how modern warfare is experienced by those who do the fighting, and its focus is that of a laser, not a floodlight . . .WARis full of stories that prove the adage about all politics being local."—Eugene Robinson,Washington Post
