A profound rumination on the concept of freedom from the
bestselling author of The Perfect Storm 'Sebastian Junger bears
witness to a hard-won and an uncertain new world, framed in vital
and brilliant prose: a true and honest accounting of everything
that underlies the frantic performance of life' Philip Hoare,
author of Albert and the Whale 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 this 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 role of women in resistance
movements and apache renegrades, 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.
