From the front lines of the battle against Islamic fundamentalism, a searing, unforgettable book that captures the human essence of the greatest conflict of our time.
Through the eyes of Dexter Filkins, the prizewinning New York Times correspondent whose work was hailed by David Halberstam as “reporting of the highest quality imaginable,” we witness the remarkable chain of events that began with the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, continued with the attacks of 9/11, and moved on to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Filkins’s narrative moves across a vast and various landscape of amazing characters and astonishing scenes: deserts, mountains, and streets of carnage; a public amputation performed by Taliban; children frolicking in minefields; skies streaked white by the contrails of B-52s; a night’s sleep in the rubble of Ground Zero.
We embark on a foot patrol through the shadowy streets of Ramadi, venture into a torture chamber run by Saddam Hussein. We go into the homes of suicide bombers and into street-to-street fighting with a battalion of marines. We meet Iraqi insurgents, an American captain who loses a quarter of his men in eight days, and a young soldier from Georgia on a rooftop at midnight reminiscing about his girlfriend back home. A car bomb explodes, bullets fly, and a mother cradles her blinded son.
Like no other book, The Forever War allows us a visceral understanding of today’s battlefields and of the experiences of the people on the ground, warriors and innocents alike. It is a brilliant, fearless work, not just about America’s wars after 9/11, but ultimately about the nature of war itself.

读后感
从一开始就注定了心情沉重，绝望，死心。只求安安静静地读完，离开，睡觉。 为什么一直是穆斯林？全世界其他宗教都好好的，为什么战争、恐怖活动总是牵扯着他们？记得大学时一次英语外教给我们列了几件事让我们选出认为最不应该的。候选的无一例外都controversial,如一个慈善...
评分这个世界从来都不是非黑即白的简单视界。然而人类总是健忘。在某一历史事件发生之后，往往从最初的关注转向麻木，从而忘记去探寻这一切的起因、根源与始末。人们习惯于将“911”作为划分一系列事件的节点。一边厢，极端宗教分子和狭隘的民族主义者抱持着消灭“异族”的偏见发起...
评分 评分记者始终是记者，报道始终是报道，不是文学。
评分有些人把游戏玩成战争，有些人把战争当做游戏，夹杂着宗教，恐怖主义，平民，国际组织。人们最热切的希望是和平，最不愿看到那些20岁左右的青年在战争中死去，因为他们和我一样还有很多没有经历的想想就觉得美的事情没有去做呢。喜欢作者作为陈述者的态度，还有译者的用词生动。
