The Fighters by C.J.
Chivers offers an unvarnished look at modern warfare, focusing on the experiences of six combatants: a fighter pilot, a corpsman, a scout helicopter pilot, a grunt, an infantry officer, and a Special Forces sergeant.
The book captures their courage, commitment, and the emotional toll of war, providing a critical perspective on American military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Chivers' narrative is both a tribute to the soldiers and a critique of the policies that led to these conflicts.
