Award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker Sebastian Junger is the author of the best-selling book The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea and War. He has written extensively on the topics of war and conflict zones and in 2008, he received the DuPont-Columbia Award for his work on The Other War: Afghanistan in conjunction with photojournalist Tim Hetherington.
