Product Information
"A classic of war reporting...The author's stories give heart-rending meaning to the lives and deaths of these men and women, even if policymakers generally have not." -- The New York Times Pulitzer Prize winner C.J. Chivers's unvarnished account of modern combat, told through the eyes of the fighters who have waged America's longest wars. More than 2.7 million Americans have served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001. C.J. Chivers reported from both wars from their beginnings. The Fighters vividly conveys the physical and emotional experience of war as lived by six combatants: a fighter pilot, a corpsman, a scout helicopter pilot, a grunt, an infantry officer, and a Special Forces sergeant. Chivers captures their courage, commitment, sense of purpose, and ultimately their suffering, frustration, and moral confusion as new enemies arise and invasions give way to counterinsurgency duties for which American forces were often not prepared. The Fighters is a tour de force, a portrait of modern warfare that parts from slogans to do for American troops what Stephen Ambrose did for the G.I.s of World War II and Michael Herr for the grunts in Vietnam. Told with the empathy and understanding of an author who is himself an infantry veteran, The Fighters presents the long arc of two wars.

Reviews
Wonderfully engaging. Readers will empathize with the trials each faced in combat and beyond in a book that will enlighten all who read it, no matter their feelings about the wars. . . . The Fighters will take its place among other great books about horrible wars and should be front and center for displays during patriotic holidays and any occasion that we honor our veterans., The Fighters is a rare book that thrusts the reader straight into the sweaty, filthy, exhausted reality of war while also revealing the broad sweep and scope of our nation's struggles. It joins the best war literature this country has ever produced., "A classic of war reporting . . . There is no down time in this relentless book . . . It is real and in the moment . . . Chivers''s achievement has been to make his subjects mythic as well as human . . . The author''s stories give heart-rending meaning to the lives and deaths of these men and women, even if policymakers generally have not."-- The New York Times "Gripping, unforgettable."-- The Boston Globe "A masterful work of atmospheric reporting, and it''s a book that will have every reader asking - with varying degrees of urgency or anger or despair - the final question Chivers himself asks: ''How many lives had these wars wrecked?''"-- Christian Science Monitor "C.J. Chivers, an artist among war correspondents, fashions a vast mosaic of bravery and miscalculation from the lives of American combatants in Iraq and Afghanistan."-- The Wall Street Journal "[Chivers] draws on the grit, sweat, and raw emotion of war to tell a story as few can, with a reality so unflinchingly rich and powerful that it can be overwhelming for the uninitiated reader.... The Fighters cements his reputation as the foremost combat journalist of his generation."-- Modern War Institute at West Point "A bitter dose of truth about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. . . . The Fighters is about as accurate a depiction of combat in the Sandbox as we are going to see in our lifetimes."-- Field & Stream "A chilling account of failed American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq through the searing experiences of six fighters."-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A Must-Read Book... The Fighters will stand as an essential record of Americans in combat in the years following September 11."-- Men''s Journal "The narrative he weaves is not only compelling but may change what you think you know about the American military experience in these two countries."-- Christian Science Monitor "Gripping and thought-provoking."-- USA Today " The Fighters spares no one. . . . These are not easy hero stories with smooth edges, but in their lack of cohesion and conclusion down in the gray areas where they dwell, they shine back at us, forcing us to look at what we''ve done as a nation, forcing us to look at ourselves."-- Popular Mechanics "A necessary, immersive narrative of what it''s like for a soldier in Afghanistan and Iraq, fighting without a clear end."-- Chicago Tribune "Evocative . . . This fast-paced, action-heavy work of long-form war journalism has bestseller written all over it."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Wonderfully engaging. Readers will empathize with the trials each faced in combat and beyond in a book that will enlighten all who read it, no matter their feelings about the wars."-- Booklist, starred review " The Fighters is a rare book that thrusts the reader straight into the sweaty, filthy, exhausted reality of war while also revealing the broad sweep and scope of our nation''s struggles. It joins the best war literature this country has ever produced."-- Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author of Tribe and War "Courageous in its reporting and shining in its humanity, The Fighters is a defining document of what war truly is."-- David Finkel, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Thank You For Your Service and The Good Soldiers "A riveting, heart-rending, and chastening account of the Americans who are waging wars that the rest of us have already chosen to forget. It is a gift to the nation, both deeply moving and profound in its implications."-- Andrew J. Bacevich, New York Times bestselling author of America''s War for the Greater Middle East, "Gripping, unforgettable."-- The Boston Globe "C.J. Chivers, an artist among war correspondents, fashions a vast mosaic of bravery and miscalculation from the lives of American combatants in Iraq and Afghanistan."-- The Wall Street Journal "[Chivers] draws on the grit, sweat, and raw emotion of war to tell a story as few can, with a reality so unflinchingly rich and powerful that it can be overwhelming for the uninitiated reader....

Readers will empathize with the trials each faced in combat and beyond in a book that will enlighten all who read it, no matter their feelings about the wars."-- Booklist, starred review, Unflinching, insightful, and humane. I can think of no other book that takes as its charge so ambitious a goal: to take the full measure of America's wars in this new century. A landmark work., Evocative . . . His reporting rings chillingly true, especially his accounts of the worst that war metes out to those doing the fighting and civilians caught in the crosshairs . . . This fast-paced, action-heavy work of long-form war journalism has bestseller written all over it., A chilling account of failed American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq through the searing experiences of six fighters. . . . Given his background, Chivers certainly did not set out to write a book emphasizing the foolishness of American actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. But that is the story that emerged from his painstaking, courageous reporting, and readers will be thankful for his work., "Gripping, unforgettable."-- The Boston Globe "[Chivers] draws on the grit, sweat, and raw emotion of war to tell a story as few can, with a reality so unflinchingly rich and powerful that it can be overwhelming for the uninitiated reader....

It is a gift to the nation, both deeply moving and profound in its implications."-- Andrew J. Bacevich, New York Times bestselling author of America''s War for the Greater Middle East, As one of America's greatest war correspondents, C.J. Chivers knows that the closest thing to truth in war comes from the people at the far end of policy, those who have done the fighting, are fighting now, and will be fighting forever. This book is that truth, brilliantly told. Courageous in its reporting and shining in its humanity, The Fighters is a defining document of what war truly is., The Fighters is a master epic. C. J. Chivers brings to life the full scope of the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan by his painstaking portrayal of six Americans using 21st Century skills and technology to fight treacherous, almost medieval wars. The soldiers are sent to battle with little chance of victory by American political leaders who will never suffer the wounds, the deaths or the despair as they do., A powerful and unsettling portrait of Americans at war risking their lives for feckless leaders who don't deserve their bravery., A riveting, heart-rending, and chastening account of the Americans who are waging wars that the rest of us have already chosen to forget. It is a gift to the nation, both deeply moving and profound in its implications.
