Reviews
"Junger has identified one of the last cohesive tribes in America and, through an examination of its culture of self-subjugation grasps for a remedy that might reunite a fragmented civilian society."-- Elliot Ackerman, Times Literary Supplement, "An electrifying tapestry of history, anthropology, psychology and memoir that punctures the stereotype of the veteran as a war-damaged victim in need of salvation. Rather than asking how we can save our returning servicemen and women, Junger challenges us to take a hard look in the mirror and ask whether we can save ourselves."_ The Guardian, "This is a brilliant little book driven by a powerful idea and series of reflections by the bestselling author of the bestselling books The Perfect Storm and War, and the film documentary Restrepo, about fighting in Afghanistan...The strongest experience of companionship and community often comes with the extremes of war. Junger is particularly good on the stress and exhilaration experienced by reporters, aid workers, and soldiers in combat - and the difficulties they face on return...I would give this gem of an essay to anyone embarking on the understanding of human society and governance."-- Evening Standard, "Compelling...Junger...offers a starting point for mending some of the toxic divisiveness rampant in our current political and cultural climate."_ The Boston Globe, "There are three excellent reasons to read Sebastian Junger's new book: the clarity of his thought, the elegance of his prose, and the provocativeness of his chosen subject. Within a compact space, the sheer range of his inquiry is astounding."_ S. C. Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of Rebel Yell and Empire of the Summer Moon, "TRIBE is an important wake-up call. Let's hope we don't sleep through the alarm." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune, "Sebastian Junger has turned the multifaceted problem of returning veterans on its head. It's not so much about what's wrong with the veterans, but what's wrong with us. If we made the changes suggested in TRIBE, not only our returning veterans, but all of us, would be happier and healthier. Please read this book."-- Karl Marlantes%2C%26 %3B New York Times bestselling author of Matterhorn and What It Is Like to Go to War, "Junger argues with candor and grace for the everlasting remedies of community and connectedness."-- O Magazine, "The author resists the temptation to glorify war as the solution to a nation's mental ills and warns against the tendency "to romanticize Indian life," but he does succeed in showing "the complicated blessings of 'civilization,' " while issuing warnings about divisiveness and selfishness that should resonate in an election year. The themes implicit in the author's bestsellers are explicit in this slim yet illuminating volume."_ Kirkus Reviews, "The author resists the temptation to glorify war as the solution to a nation's mental ills and warns against the tendency "to romanticize Indian life," but he does succeed in showing "the complicated blessings of 'civilization,' " while issuing warnings about divisiveness and selfishness that should resonate in an election year.

Synopsis
We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding--"tribes." This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival. Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today. Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, Tribe explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that-for many veterans as well as civilians-war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. Tribe explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world., Now a New York Times bestseller We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding--"tribes."

    Thought Provoking

    This book will make you think about what is right and what is wrong with society. I have highlighted my copy in many places, as the ideas make you want to do some more thinking and research. Junger has done his homework and has written an engaging book that touches on many things we should be talking about in our families, work places and with friends. I highly recommend it.

    Great book

    Overall engaging very interesting book. Shines a light on the fact that in spite of conveniences our ancestors could have only dreamed of, we are missing something. Junger shows that what is missing is community......a tribe.

    You should know.

    Everyone should read. The first thought provoking book I've read in years. Junger's recommendation of "Sapiens" caused me to also obtain this fascinating read.
