Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War

Mary Roach's "Grunt" is a groundbreaking exploration of the science behind keeping human beings intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfested in extreme combat situations.

With her signature wit and humor, Roach tackles the challenges of panic, exhaustion, heat, noise, and more, introducing readers to the scientists who are working to conquer these adversaries.

From dodging hostile fire with the U.S.

Marine Corps Paintball Team to visiting a repurposed movie studio where amputee actors help prepare Marine Corps medics for combat wounds, Roach takes readers on a fascinating tour of duty.

With answers to questions not found in any other book on the military, such as why DARPA is interested in ducks and how a wedding gown is like a bomb suit, "Grunt" is an unforgettable read that will change the way you see our nation's defenders forever.
