Award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks the difficult
questions of these combatants, many of whom he first met while in
Afghanistan and Iraq and others he sought out from different wars:
What is it like to kill? What is it like to be under fire? How do
you know what's right? What can you never forget? Sites compiles
the accounts of soldiers, Marines, their families and friends, and
also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war
(including complicity in a murder) and the redemptive powers of
storytelling in arresting a spiraling path of self-destruction. He
learns that war both gives and takes from those most intimately
involved in it. Some struggle in perpetual disequilibrium, while
others find balance, usually with the help of communities who have
learned to listen, without judgment, to the real stories of the men
and women it has sent to fight its battles.
