"War Stories" is a compilation of short fiction based on my reporting for magazines like Vanity Fair and the New York Times magazine and takes up narratives from that reporting that didn't fit with the narrative I was telling in the actual magazine story. I've changed names, locations, etc., invented some stories whole cloth, and used them to tell of soldiers, pilots, families, and others enmeshed in the global war on terror. Each has numerous specific fictionalized aspects that weren't part of the actual reporting, rendering them fiction. It too should come in around 290 pages. Some of the stories are heart-breaking, others hopeful. It's a full meal.
