The Forever War - Dexter Filkins

NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The definitive account of America's conflict with Islamic fundamentalism and a searing exploration of its human costs-aninstant classic of war reporting from the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, we witness
the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, the aftermath of the attack on New York on
September 11th, and the American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Filkins is the only
American journalist to have reported on all these events, and his experiences are
conveyed in a riveting narrative filled with unforgettable characters and astonishing
scenes.

Brilliant and fearless, The Forever War is not just about America's wars
after 9/11, but about the nature of war itself.
