Pulitzer Prize champion C.J. Chivers’s unvarnished NY Times bestseller is usually a chronicle of about The Fighters modern combat, told through the eye from the fighters who’ve waged America’s longest wars: “A classic of war confirming…there can be no downtime within this relentless publication” (The New York Occasions).

A lot more than 2.7 million Us citizens have got served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001, and C.J. Chivers reported on both wars from their beginnings. The Fighters vividly conveys the physical and psychological experience of battle as lived by six combatants: a fighter pilot, a corpsman, a scout helicopter pilot, a grunt, an infantry official, and a Special Forces sergeant.

Chivers catches their courage, dedication, feeling of purpose, and ultimately their suffering, disappointment, and moral confusion as brand-new enemies arise and invasions give way to counterinsurgency duties that American forces had been often not prepared.

The Fighters is normally a “gripping, memorable” (The Boston Globe) portrait of contemporary warfare. Told with the empathy and knowledge of an author who is himself an infantry veteran, The Fighters is normally “a masterful function of atmospheric confirming, and it’s a reserve that will have every reader requesting—with varying examples of urgency or anger or despair—the final issue Chivers himself asks: ‘How many lives experienced these wars wrecked?’” (Christian Science Monitor).
