The First Stone by Carsten Jensen EPUB
In the tradition of the great war novels of literature, Carsten Jensen’s acclaimed novel takes the reader on a powerful and unforgettable journey into the heart of contemporary warfare.
A platoon of young men and women enlist to fight in Afghanistan, driven by a desire for justice and a need to test themselves under extreme circumstances. Soon they face a challenge that no military training has prepared them for, and simple survival becomes their only mission.
Foremost among them is Hannah, a tough young soldier whose dedication and ferocity convinces her fellow soldiers of the righteousness of their mission. Manipulated into committing acts of violence against their own allies, they become famous among Afghans as “Western jihadis”. With American drones mysteriously shot down from the sky, the soldiers begin to realize they are pawns in an audacious experiment.
