«Guerra» is Sebastian Junger's war chronicle, published by Editorial Crítica in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
Sebastian Junger spent fifteen months with a platoon in a remote part of Afghanistan to narrate war from within: the violence of combat, the fear of ambushes, the boredom of waiting, and the camaraderie among men whose survival depends on everyone's commitment.
It belongs to the Memoria Crítica collection, in the Spanish edition, translated from English by Gonzalo García and Cecilia Belza.
It is aimed at readers of history and war journalism interested in the experience of soldiers in Afghanistan.
Sebastian Junger is an American journalist, author and filmmaker who has reported in-the-field on dirty, dangerous and demanding occupations and the experience of infantry combat. He is the author of The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea (1997) which was adapted into a major motion picture and led to a resurgence in adventure creative nonfiction writing. He covered the War in Afghanistan for more than a decade, often embedded in dangerous and remote military outposts. The book War (2010) was drawn from his field reporting for Vanity Fair, that also served as the background for the documentary film Restrepo (2010) which received the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Junger's works explore themes such as brotherhood, trauma, and the relationship of the individual to society as told from the far reaches of human experience.
