Not as tense as Perfect Storm but a number of interesting essays on everything from firejumping to whaling to Bosnia.

Loved this book. Junger takes extraordinary risk to place himself in the midst of situations everyone should know about. His writing is lucid and precise, yet comprehensive. The story in this book on the Storm King fire is extremely captivating and heartbreaking. He was also on the ground in Afghanistan before the US overthrow of the Taliban. He was with the Lion of Panjshir writing about his resistance to the Taliban before his assassination days before 9/11. Phenomenal writer, excellent book.
