Reviews
"A book to help us understand our times." - Boston Sunday Globe "Superb...Junger blends history, science, and character sketches into literary adventure." - Miami Herald "Junger's strength lies in his ability to make the ever-present danger palpable and to offer chilling descriptions of pain and devastation." - BusinessWeek "From wildfire fighting in the American west to whale hunting in the Caribbean, the stories in Fire cut straight to the heart of whatever Junger is reporting." - New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Award winning journalist Sebastian Junger presents Fire, a collection of non-fiction essays exploring a world where people work-and live-on the edge. Whether he's describing smoke jumpers who parachute into massive forest fires, whale hunters who prowl the waters of the Caribbean, or diamond miners in Sierra Leone, Junger continues to explore his long-established fascination with dangerous jobs and the people who pursue them. Written with a keen eye for detail and resonating prose, Fire serves as a model of impactful journalism, demonstrating how to take readers places they wouldn't dream of going on their own. "[Junger has] instinctive storytelling skills and [an] ability to convey a palpable sense of the craft and professional techniques of a vocation, be it fishing, firefighting, harpooning whales or diamond smuggling . . . [He] is at his best creating a mood and sense of place through small details set down in Hemingwayesque prose."-New York Times, A riveting collection of literary journalism by the bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, capped off brilliantly by a new Afterword and a timely essay about war-torn Afghanistan -- a superb eyewitness report about the Taliban's defeat in Kabul -- new to book form. Sebastian Junger has made a specialty of bringing to life the drama of nature and human nature. 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, A riveting collection of literary journalism by the bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, capped off brilliantly by a new Afterword and a timely essay about war-torn Afghanistan -- a superb eyewitness report about the Taliban's defeat in Kabul -- new to book form.
