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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, \u003ci\u003eTribe\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eTribe\u003c\/i\u003e explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSebastian Junger\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Perfect Storm\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Death in Belmont\u003c\/i\u003e.
