Charlie Rose's Tuesday, May 25, 2010 with Sebastian Junger - Movies, TV & Theater, Books

CHARLIE ROSE: Sebastian Junger is here. He’s the author of the
bestselling books "The Perfect Storm" and "A Death in Belmont." A
contributing editor to "Vanity Fair" magazine, he has spent a lot of time
reporting in Afghanistan both before and after the U.S.-led invasion.

His new book is called simply "War." It is about a platoon of American
soldiers stationed in the isolated Korengal valley of eastern Afghanistan.

Welcome back.

SEBASTIAN JUNGER: Thank you.

CHARLIE ROSE: So there was a big story, and I brought in up with
Petraeus and other people, about Korengal valley. It was sacred land and
they did not want to leave it because?
