	Sebastian Junger: A Death in Belmont \| Previews \| The Australian
		Sebastian Junger's book, A Death in Belmont, recounts a particular murder in a series of murders of women across Boston in the early 1960s by the Boston Strangler to which Junger and his family were personally connected by employing for a time the man who almost certainly was responsible for most of the crimes.
		Sebastian Junger, the baby in the photo, could not resist researching the lives and crimes of these two men, interviewing his own family, and the friends and family of the two convicts and witnesses called at their trials.
		Junger explains legal terms and the confusion surrounding a confession to serial murders _ there was no trial, but incarceration in a mental institution _ and the decision of the jury in the neighbourhood murder, where the convicted Roy Smith maintained his innocence.

		Sebastian Junger: I feel that both men believed absolutely in the path that they were following as leaders and that they were willing to jeopardize not only, in the case of Lincoln, his political standing, but even their lives for what they believed in.
		Sebastian Junger: There's room for both kinds of stories and I think for the most part journalists are asked by their employers to cover the kinds of stories they're best at.
		Sebastian Junger: You don't have to be an expert in order to go to a country and report on the situation.

		And all the while, Sebastian Junger's compassionate, intelligent voice instructs us effortlessly on the sea life of the swordfisherman, the physics of a sinking steel ship, and the details of death by drowning.
		Junger builds his story around the vessel; he starts with biographies of the deckhands and the captain, and gives as complete an account of the boat's time at sea as he can dredge up, so readers feel an immediate stake in its fate.
		Junger's fine dramatic style is complemented by a wealth of details that flesh out the story: wave physics and water thermoclines; what it means if you see whitewater outside your porthole; where the terms mayday, ill-wind, and down East came from.

		Something primal drives Sebastian Junger to surf in rough January seas, when you can get pulled under for long enough to think you are drowning and burst to the surface with your lungs sucking salt water.
		So Sebastian Junger is having the ultimate celebrity experience: he's found himself at the center of a controversy.

	Sebastian Junger at Payomet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		When bestselling author-journalist Sebastian Junger told his mother than Roy Smith might not be innocent - maybe he did kill Bessie Goldberg, maybe the family's story of the fl man who was wrongly imprisoned for one of the Boston Stangler's murders was misguided - she was taken aback.
		Junger, the well-known author of "The Perfect Storm," is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and also contributes to ABC news.
		Junger says that he started thinking about the potential for the book in the late 1990s, and that the personal aspects to the story (DeSalvo working in his house) are minimal.

		JUNGER: Well, I don't think they would have set up something that was damning the way the tape is. They may have used it for propaganda, but it's very badly shot, so I don't even think it's a propaganda piece for them.
		JUNGER: I do think the tape should have been released, because I believe in transparency in government, and I believe in freedom of the press, and I feel that Americans have absolutely the right to see something that has such tremendous implications for their country.
		JUNGER: I hope that out of the tragedy of the September 11 attacks, the United States will learn to be less isolationist in its relationship with the rest of the world.

	Fire Review - Sebastian Junger
		Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm (1998) took readers into the terrifying world of a fishing vessel overwhelmed by a natural disaster at sea; in Fire, Junger presents accounts of people in situations that most of us hope only to read about, never experience.
		Junger is a good storyteller, giving clear accounts of events, their history, and settings that make it possible to enter the dangerous worlds this journalist has, in most cases, explored first-hand.
		Junger demonstrates his ability to paint gripping pictures, showing readers the fire fighters as they prepare to go into the forest as well as following them as they battle the fire, offering along the way an interesting history of how America has fought forest fires since the 1800's.

	Book Review: Perfect Storm and The Hungry Ocean \| Principal Health News
		With a remarkable eye for character and scientific detail, Sebastian Junger, a freelance journalist with a penchant for covering dangerous professions, penned a book based on the story of six Gloucester fishermen caught in a deadly nor'easter far off the coast of Newfoundland.
		Junger also describes other hazards the crew is routinely expected to endure on the job, such as working inhumanely long hours at a breakneck pace.
		Sebastian Junger has high praise for Greenlaw, skipper of the Hannah Boden (which, by coincidence, is the sister ship to the Andrea Gail and one of the most profitable boats in Gloucester harbor).

	Reading Group Guide \| THE PERFECT STORM by Sebastian Junger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Sebastian Junger's account of the fate of a group of swordfishermen battling a storm off the Newfoundland coast opens a door into the world of commercial fishing, historically among the most dangerous of occupations.
		Junger profiles with compassion and empathy the people whose lives intersected with that incredible storm: those lucky enough to dodge it, those who fought it and won, and those who disappeared.
		Throughout the book, Junger writes of complicated and risky rescue missions in which the danger to the victims is weighed against the danger to those charged with rescuing them.

	The Perfect Storm - Kaedrin
		Junger focuses this account on a six-man sword-fishing vessel, the Andrea Gail, though there are accounts of other boats as well.
		Working from published material, radio dialogues, eyewitness accounts, and the experiences of people who have survived similar events, Junger attempts to re-create the last moments of the Andrea Gail as well as the perilous high-seas rescues of other victims of the storm.
		Unfortunately, Junger's eagerness to impart all that he has learned sometimes makes for slow reading (though not often!) as he goes into excruciating detail.

	DOASKDOTELL BOOK REVIEW of Sebastian Junger's Perfect Storm, Fire, and related films
		This best-seller by Sebastian Junger is a harrowing account of the fate of a (swordfish) fishing boat, the Andrea Gail, in one of this century's most violent eastcoast storms, at the end of October 1991, when a hurricane and noreaster combined.
		Junger's attention to detail was fascinating, even if "morbid" at times (as when he provides a scientific explanation of drowning).
		However, one of the values of Junger’s book (and his other writings) is pointing out how we all depend on the sacrifices and risks taken by men (sometimes women, too) doing dangerous work—most obviously, to my mind, the military, the police, and certain other occupations, and commercial fishing is one of them.

		I appreciated the way that Junger is able to describe all these details, and recreate the characters and the events so clearly, yet show due respect to friends and families of those involved.
		On the contrary, the reader is left with the impression that Junger highly respects the fishermen, the rescue people, the coastal residents, and everyone else involved.
		Junger is also able to describe the complicated meteorological events in layman's terms.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: A Death in Belmont, by Sebastian Junger, Hardcover
		Sebastian Junger's acclaimed -- and controversial -- narrative reexamining the 1963 murder of Bessie Goldberg and the identity of the Boston Strangler has drawn criticism from Goldberg's daughter.
		Junger comes to no firm conclusions as he follows the developments, but his gripping, highly readable drama of crime and punishment highlights the random chance that often separates victim from survivor.
		I am not certain what Junger had in mind, but the end result is 250+ pages of theory and conjecture that ultimately amount to nothing since both convicted murderers died decades ago and DNA evidence long ago degraded or was destroyed.
