Fifteen years have passed since boots first hit the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet the war has not ended--only changed. These masterfully crafted stories from writers who have served reflect the entire breadth of human emotion--loss, anger, joy, love, fear, and courage--and the evolving nature of what has become America's "Forever War." From debut writers to experienced authors whose work has been featured in the New York Times, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker, this exceptional collection promises to be the definitive fictional look at the after-effects of the Iraq and Afghan Wars and will resonate with readers long after the final page. -- Inside jacket flap. |
