Few writers have been to so many disparate and desperate corners of the globe. Fewer still have met the standard of great journalism more consistently. None has provided more starkly memorable evocations of extreme events. From the murderous mechanics of the diamond trade in Sierra Leone, to an inferno forest fire burning out of control in the steep canyons of Idaho, to the forensics of genocide in Kosovo, this collection of Junger's reporting will take readers to places they need to know about but wouldn't dream of going on their own. In his company we travel to these places, pass through frightening checkpoints, actual and psychological, and come face-to-face with the truth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJunger, Sebastian:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEBASTIAN JUNGER\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eTribe\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWar\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Death in Belmont\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFire\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Perfect Storm\u003c\/em\u003e, and co-director of the documentary film \u003cem\u003eRestrepo\u003c\/em\u003e, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
