Dexter Filkins is a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The recipient of two Overseas Press Club Awards and the George Polk Award, Filkins earned a Pulitzer Prize nomination for his reporting from Afghanistan. Terrifyingly precise, The Forever War is a visceral tour of today’s battlefields with a journalist who walked side-by-side with U.S. Marines during the battle of Fallujah and a reminder of the cost of war to warriors and innocents alike.
