Description
Drawing on anthropology, history, psychology, and reporting from conflict zones, this thought-provoking book examines why people often experience a powerful sense of belonging and purpose in the face of shared hardship. It explores the bonds formed within military units, close-knit communities, and traditional societies, contrasting them with the isolation and disconnection that can accompany modern life. The book considers what veterans and civilians may teach one another about community, sacrifice, and resilience, while asking how societies might rebuild the networks that support human flourishing. Accessible and deeply researched, it offers a compelling meditation on homecoming, social connection, and the enduring human need to belong.
