Ebook About A profound rumination on the concept of freedom from the New York Times bestselling author of Tribe.Throughout history, humans have been driven by the quest for two cherished ideals: community and freedom. The two don’t coexist easily. We value individuality and self-reliance, yet are utterly dependent on community for our most basic needs. In this intricately crafted and thought-provoking book, Sebastian Junger examines the tension that lies at the heart of what it means to be human. For much of a year, Junger and three friends—a conflict photographer and two Afghan War vets—walked the railroad lines of the East Coast. It was an experiment in personal autonomy, but also in interdependence. Dodging railroad cops, sleeping under bridges, cooking over fires, and drinking from creeks and rivers, the four men forged a unique reliance on one another. In Freedom, Junger weaves his account of this journey together with primatology and boxing strategy, the history of labor strikes and Apache raiders, the role of women in resistance movements, and the brutal reality of life on the Pennsylvania frontier. Written in exquisite, razor-sharp prose, the result is a powerful examination of the primary desire that defines us.Book Freedom Review :
This unique book is best described as part travel journal, part history book, and part philosophy lecture. There is no rigid structure, Junger just alternates back and forth between detailing the perils of walking along the railroads with his group of friends, explaining the history of the American frontier, and contemplating philosophical ideas like the nature of freedom. I found this chaotic style to be very compelling, the book really held my interest and I had to finish it in one sitting. Junger weaves historical data about the area into his description of his journey so naturally, making insightful comparisons and conveying the feelings of his experiences.The book starts off by jumping right into the journey. There is no introduction, forward, preface, or table of contents; Junger just starts with a description of how the landscape changed after his group had traveled past Harrisburg. He does an excellent job of giving you a sense of what it is like on this kind of walking journey, with vivid, gritty descriptions of the environment; the sights, sounds and dangers of the surrounding areas. There is a great deal of Native American history in the book, about not only the areas he passes through, but stories from all over the United States. To illustrate a point about freedom, Junger uses the example of the Apache and Pueblo tribes and their encounters with the Spanish army. He explains that the Pueblo, who lived in more permanent, fortified dwellings were actually conquered much more easily by the Spanish army than the Apache were, as the Apache had almost no possessions and moved quickly over the landscape. He connects this to the idea that nomadic peoples have often been considered to have more freedom than stationary civilizations, and then back to his feelings of personal freedom on his long walking journey.Along the way, Junger and his group have to contend with avoiding police helicopters, dealing with infected blisters, meeting random mysterious people, and getting shot at, among other things. The book is relatively short, at only about 150 pages, but it packs quite a bit into those pages. I felt inspired, anxious, and grateful; all while learning quite a bit about the history of various groups of people. I really enjoyed this book, it was a very unique style of writing, and I hope to read more from this author in the future. This book was a disappointment. If its purpose is to provide new insights into the concept of freedom and the tradeoffs that requires between prioritizing self interest and prioritizing the welfare of the collective, then it totally failed that mission in my case. Readers interested in this very important topic would be far better served by Jonathan Sachs' comprehensive and insightful book Morality.I have read most of Sebastian Junger's books, and they seem to all follow the same algorithm. Which is to skim lightly through a topic that can be related to one of the author's life experiences, and then to "thicken" the work by various examples from history that may or may not be directly applicable. Sometimes this is a stretch. Other times the examples are from areas that are simply not of interest to the reader. Over time, this structure seems to have gotten more and more flimsy/questionable with each new book. It seems as though even the author's enthusiasm for this work has degenerated over time.It is not as though the author is not talented. He clearly has the potential to do more serious work. I would hope that in the future he would do so, but I would also be wary that he would not. If you are going to read one book by Sebastian Junger, I would recommend Tribe.
