In a desolate, post-apocalyptic America, a father and son trek towards an unknown West Coast in a desperate attempt to survive.

On Homecoming and Belonging
Sebastian Junger - 2016-05-24
Goodreads Rating
This book explores the challenges facing returning veterans and the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder. Author Sebastian Junger draws on history, psychology, and anthropology to show how modern society clashes with our tribal instincts. Junger argues that many veterans struggle not only with trauma, but also with reintegrating into individualist societies. With well-researched analysis and compelling writing, this timely book offers a new perspective on veteran's affairs and the need to repair our social dynamic.
