My Take
Sebastian Junger is the rare writer who reports from inside the danger rather than describing it from a desk. The Perfect Storm alone secured his place, but what I respect more is his willingness to embed with infantry and chronicle the most punishing human work. A Wesleyan education did not keep him indoors; it sharpened a mind that he then put directly in harm's way. That combination of intellect and physical courage is what makes his nonfiction land with such authority. I trust journalists who carry back the sweat and fear of the people they cover, and Junger consistently does exactly that.
