Dexter Filkins' The Forever War: Eight Years (and Counting) in Iraq and Afghanistan
Restrained writing brings power to writer's firsthand accounts of Middle-East conflict
The Forever War is an astonishingly good book about a subject many Americans are increasingly resistant to inquire about. If it weren’t fact-based, but a novel, it would simply be a haunting work about the frailty of the human condition.
