Is Sebastian Junger 'The New Hemingway'?

One of my favorite writers is 48-year-old Sebastian Junger, an author and journalist who is best known for his best-selling 1997 book, “The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea.”
Often touted as “The New Hemingway,” Junger, pictured at right, has contributed to scores of magazines over the years, but has only written a few books. Earlier today, I read a review in Outside Magazine of his latest book, “War,” in which he spent nearly a year imbedded with a U.S. Army platoon in the Korengal Valley of eastern Afghanistan.
Here’s a complete list of his books if you’re interested in reading them:
- The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea (1997)
- A Death in Belmont (2006)
- Fire (2001)
- War (2010)
In the end, I’d like to know if any of you have ever read any of Junger’s books. What did you think about them? Which would you recommend? Let us know in the comments section below.
