"For the soldiers in Tim Hetherington's book Infidel, Afghanistan's Korengal Valley was an endless rotation of firefights\u2014and the crazy-making boredom between them. Hetherington, an award-winning photojournalist and GQ contributor, spent several months living with the men amid constant fighting, and the result is an intimate, firsthand look at what it's like to be an American soldier in a modern war. The combat photography is remarkable and heart-poundingly close, but it's the photos of daily life in the outpost that really brings the book to life, taking us inside the soldiers' plywood bunkers and showing how they live among sandbags and fly strips, how they cope with the monotony of downtime, and why they still love fighting. As a compliment to the book, Hetherington and writer Sebastian Junger also shot video during their trips\u2014video that became the Sundance-winning documentary Restrepo (airing on National Geographic Channel, Monday, November 29, 9PM ET/PT).\n\nInfidel will be released in the U.S. on October 19th.\n\nFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookPinterest\n\n \u2014Krista Prestek"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
