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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Like Hemingway, Orwell, or Churchill himself, Sebastian Junger is intoxicated by life's perilous extremities. He's chased the front in Bosnia, Serbia, and - most famously - Afghanistan. His voice is like a fingerprint, a baritone played on vocal cords pulled almost to the breaking point. Now the writer meditates on independence and interdependence as he, three friends, and a dog hike and camp rough along 400 miles of track right here in the relative safety of the U.S. of A. The vagrants march through rain, cook over open fires. Trains so heavy and fast 'they seem to set the whole world in motion' explode the solitude. The hike stitches the narrative together, but all is window dressing for Junger's two great loves: courage and a naked heart. You'll hear it in his voice." (AudioFile Magazine)

This book was too short. I'll have to read more by the author. I really enjoyed his insights as well as his story telling. 10/10

As someone who grew up in the Ohio Valley and the Pittsburgh area, it was wonderful to hear an accurate depiction of the history. Can’t wait to explore more from Mr. Junger.

An amazing journey through FREEDOM. I will never say the word again without contemplating some aspect, some history, some emotion that came to me from this book. Forever changed. Forever better because of it.

Wow!

I was surprised how fast the story went by. Junger doesn't give as many details about his adventure hiking illegally along the railways of the Eastern U.S. as he probably should have. (I had heard him on Joe Rogan prior to the book, so I knew some details and context that the book lacks.). Along with his adventure, he makes some interesting connections to history that are illustrative about freedom. This is not a game changer in terms of political philosophy, but it's an interesting personal journey and reflection. I honestly think it needs another chapter or two to fill in the gaps. Still, it's worth your time if you want a quick and interesting read.

Short, But Interesting Narrative

Sebastian Junger is an amazing author and a great orator. His style is perfectly unique and really hits home to GWOT veterans.

Yet another great read from an amazing author

Sebastian Junger offers another great look at finding one’s inner purpose while reviewing American history of the frontier in the process.

Outstanding read.
