War
By Sebastian Junger
Afghanistan / US Military

Outpost Restrepo, in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley, was one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. Army.

Sebastian Junger made repeated trips to the valley and writes about the fear, boredom, and fierce loyalty that bind men in combat. His reporting there also became the documentary Restrepo, made with photographer Tim Hetherington.

Wavell's Command: The Crucible of War Book 1
By Barrie Pitt
WWII / Africa / British Military

Wavell commanded British forces across the Middle East when Italy invaded Egypt in 1940, and he had far too few men to stop it. Three months later he struck back, his desert army driving the Italians hundreds of miles across Libya and taking 130,000 prisoners. Then London stripped his army of its best troops and shipped them to Greece to defend it from a German invasion, Rommel arrived in North Africa, and Wavell watched the victory slip away. Book one of Pitt's Crucible of War trilogy follows Wavell through the triumph and the fall.
