 Marlantes has written a staggeringly beautiful book on combat-what it feels 
 like, what the consequences are and above all, what society must do to 
 understand it. In my eyes he has become the preeminent literary voice on 
 war of our generation. He is a natural storyteller and a deeply profound 
 thinker who not only illuminates war for civilians, but also offers a kind 
 of spiritual guidance to veterans themselves. As this generation of 
 warriors comes home, they will be enormously helped by what Marlantes has 
 written-I'm sure he will literally save lives."-Sebastian Junger, 
 Journalist and Documentarian for the award-winning film, Restrepo\n
