Atlantic Monthly pulled out all the stops for their big Vietnam novel, Matterhorn, and it has paid off; the book lands at #7 on the New York Times Hardcover Fiction Best Seller list and is featured on the cover of the NYT Book Review. Reviewer Sebastian Junger  calls it “a raw, brilliant account of war that may well serve as a final exorcism for one of the most painful passages in American history.”

As a result, Matterhorn moved to #15 on Amazon, its highest spot to date. At B&N.com, which features it on their home page, it moved to #9.
