Synopsis
Forest fires, terrorism, war: the author of The Perfect Storm now stands in the line of fire.Opening this book is like stepping into an inferno. Using characteristically unflinching language Junger meticulously captures the terrifying elemental force of a forest fire blazing out of control in the steep canyons of Idaho. A cast of characters risks everything in the effort to bring under control a vicious and unpredictable conflagration.
Few writers have been to so many desperate corners of the globe as Junger; fewer still have provided such starkly memorable evocations of characters and events. From the murderous mechanics of the diamond trade in Sierra Leone to the logic of guerrilla warfare in Afghanistan, to the forensics of genocide in Kosovo, Junger takes you where you wouldn't dream of going on your own.
