I found Sebastian Junger's War to be a somewhat maddening read. Sections of this book are of 5-star quality, offering extraordinarily insightful observations about the physical and emotional impact of war on its warriors. But other sections are frustratingly disjointed---Junger flits from one topic to another (not to mention one tense to another) without any coherence.

Despite the book's frustrating passages, the 5-star sections are so informative and powerful that I would still recommend War as a worthwhile read to anyone interested in the topic.
