"'Grunt' tackles the science behind some of a soldier's most challenging adversaries-- panic, exhaustion, heat, noise-- and introduces us to the scientists who seek to conquer them"--

Review of 'Grunt' on 'Goodreads'

Mary Roach's books are great, but this was a bit of a miss for me. Essentially it's a study of how humans overcome conditions in order to better kill each other and (in the case of the sub crew) not blow up the world when sleep-deprived.
