Tribe
About This Book
Tribe (2016) examines historical patterns and explores the psychology behind human connection and our fundamental need for community. Sebastian Junger assembles evidence from various fields to reveal a striking paradox: people often experience their strongest feelings of community during wartime and crisis. Through examples ranging from World War II's London bombings to contemporary American military operations in Afghanistan, the book demonstrates how shared adversity forges powerful group bonds and exposes the absence of genuine community in modern peacetime society.
