When it comes to contemporary war, The Devils of Eden is one of the most accurate stories written. The memoir is told from the perspective of a paratrooper from the arrival at his unit, through the occupation of Firebase Gardez in Eastern Afghanistan.
The narrative follows a squad of recon paratroopers for a four month period of what was called by Time magazine, ‘The Most Dangerous Place on Earth’. Each character is a disparate representation of the array of attitudes and perspectives concerning life in contemporary America, the Afghanistan War, and the human condition in general.
A seminal character of the story, an interpreter named Farid, serves as a general representation of the strife of the Afghan people, both before and during the occupation.
The Devils of Eden has the true grit missing from the writings of the current generation.
