Über diesen Titel
From the author of The Perfect Storm and War comes a book about why men miss war, why Londoners missed the Blitz, and what we can all learn from American Indian captives who refused to go home.
Tribe is a look at post-traumatic stress disorder and the challenges veterans face in returning to society. Using his background in anthropology, Sebastian Junger argues that the problem lies not with vets or with the trauma they've suffered but with the society to which they are trying to return.
One of the most puzzling things about veterans who experience PTSD is that the majority never even saw combat - yet they feel deeply alienated and out of place back home. The reason may lie in our natural inclination, as a species, to live in groups of 30 to 50 people who are entirely reliant on one another for safety, comfort and a sense of meaning: in short, the life of a soldier.
It is one of the ironies of the modern age that as affluence rises in a society, so do rates of suicide, depression and, of course, PTSD. In a wealthy society, people don't need to cooperate with one another, so they often lead much lonelier lives that lead to psychological distress.
There is a way for modern society to reverse this trend, however, and studying how veterans react to coming home may provide a clue to how to do it. But it won't be easy.

Kritikerstimmen
"In his acute observations of soldiers both in battle and at rest, Junger paints a vivid and realistic portrait of the fighting in Afghanistan, often bitterly funny and desperately sad." (Patrick Hennessey, Literary Review)
"The bloodiest and most compelling book you are ever likely to read on the enduring carnage in Afghanistan." ( The Times)
"One of the best books about war you will ever read. Beautifully written in unshowy prose and thoughtful, honest and profound. A masterpiece of the genre." ( Mail on Sunday)
"An intense account.... Junger uses his documentary skills to ask his comrades tough questions about killing, dying, loyalty and friendship. The result is a book not just about war, but about the limits of courage and, yes, love under pressure." ( Guardian)
"Absorbing and original.... Junger has found a novel and interesting lens through which to view the conflict in Afghanistan, and he captures many things a lesser writer might miss." ( New York Times)
"It takes a very good book to carry off a title as portentous as War, and Sebastian Junger has written one.... An outstanding war report: a precise and gripping account of some of the fiercest battles involving American soldiers in recent times." ( The Economist)

As good as I'd been told
Fascinating and captivating. I found myself finishing this book in no time. It really hits home some of the most important aspects of humanity.

This could have been an essay
I can completely relate to the subjective feeling of lonely cities, suburbs even though filled with people, lack of community, ties, circles and tribes. In my opinion this audio book failed at explaining the topic in an objective manner and instead presented us with subjective experiences and trivial stories. A lot of conjecture, opinions and not a lot of facts. An example would be comparing wallstreet fraud and tribal dealings with fraud. I don’t think this is a sensible comparison to make. Some facts were clearly misinterpreted or even misunderstood by the author. I don’t know how else he could have stated in all seriousness that fraud makes up a trillion dollar 1/4 value of the US economy.

The literary version of a Joe Rogan podcast
Entertaining book with a good prosa. Light and refreshing although the argumentation should never be taken too serious. Cited research is often over-interpreted to fit the message.
