Afghan Post

by Adrian Bonenberger, Linda Gallant (Editor), Nic Esposito (Editor)

Overview

After graduating from Yale, Adrian Bonenberger's life took an unusual turn, leading him to a military career marked by success, near misses, and profound destabilization. Afghan Post, lauded by Anthony Swofford as "... a deeply felt and poetically resonant epistolary memoir," unforgettably conveys the emotional reality of Bonenberger's military experience through the cracked lens of his wartime correspondence.

Editorial Reviews

"One of the best memoirs to emerge from our recent wars."

Foreign Policy - Thomas E. Ricks

Bonenberger, now a blogger and a journalism student, makes clear the war's awful toll on his psyche while providing civilians with a crash course in the hell and exhilaration of combat and training.
