Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Unflinching Look at Modern War
It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today.

Award-winning writer Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in large and small ways, and foreshadow the un-winnable conflicts the U.S. would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
