Fighting Season is about a platoon of soldiers returning from Afghanistan after their section leader is killed in a controversial mission, one marred by bitter mistakes and cover-ups. Fighting Season is about an Army culture of stoic self-sacrifice that can corrode even the strongest marriage. About the politics of war and the bonds of mateship forged in a war-zone, of experiences so intense that those 'back home' in the civilian world can't understand. And about a secret these men will do anything to keep.
