We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding—'tribes.' This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.
Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today.
Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, TRIBE explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that-for many veterans as well as civilians-war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. TRIBE explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.

10 Jehovah then said to Moses:2 “Make two trumpets+ for yourself; make them of hammered silver, and use them to summon the assembly and to break up the camps.3 When both of them are blown, the whole assembly must be summoned to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.+4 If just one is blown, only the chieftains, the heads of the thousands of Israel, will be summoned to you.+5 “When you sound a fluctuating trumpet blast, the camps of those to the east+ should depart.6 When you sound a fluctuating trumpet blast a second time, the camps of those to the south+ should depart. They should sound the trumpet blasts in this way each time one of them departs.7 “Now when calling the congregation together, you should blow the trumpets,+ but not with fluctuating blasts.8 Aaron’s sons, the priests, should blow the trumpets,+ and the use of them will serve as a lasting statute for you throughout your generations.9 “If you should go to war in your land against an oppressor who is harassing you, you should sound a war call on the trumpets,+ and you will be remembered by Jehovah your God and be saved from your enemies.10 “Also, on your joyous occasions+—your festivals+ and at the beginning of your months—you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings+ and your communion sacrifices;+ they will serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am Jehovah your God.”+11 Now in the second year, in the second month, on the 20th day of the month,+ the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle+ of the Testimony.12 So the Israelites began to pull away from the wilderness of Siʹnai in the order established for their departure,+ and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paʹran.+13 This was the first time they departed following the order of Jehovah through Moses.+14 So the three-tribe division of the camp of the sons of Judah departed first by their companies,* and Nahʹshon+ the son of Am·minʹa·dab was over its company.15 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Isʹsa·char was Ne·thanʹel+ the son of Zuʹar.16 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Zebʹu·lun was E·liʹab+ the son of Heʹlon.17 When the tabernacle was taken down,+ the sons of Gerʹshon+ and the sons of Me·rarʹi,+ who carried the tabernacle, departed.18 Then the three-tribe division of the camp of Reuʹben departed by their companies,* and E·liʹzur+ the son of Shedʹe·ur was over its company.19 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Simʹe·on was She·luʹmi·el+ the son of Zu·ri·shadʹdai.20 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Gad was E·liʹa·saph+ the son of Deuʹel.21 Then the Koʹhath·ites, who carried the sanctuary items,+ departed. The tabernacle was to be set up by the time they arrived.22 Then the three-tribe division of the camp of the sons of Eʹphra·im departed by their companies,* and E·lishʹa·ma+ the son of Am·miʹhud was over its company.23 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Ma·nasʹseh was Ga·maʹli·el+ the son of Pe·dahʹzur.24 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin was Abʹi·dan+ the son of Gid·e·oʹni.25 Then the three-tribe division of the camp of the sons of Dan departed by their companies,* forming the rear guard for all the camps, and A·hi·eʹzer+ the son of Am·mi·shadʹdai was over its company.26 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Ashʹer was Paʹgi·el+ the son of Ochʹran.27 Over the company of the tribe of the sons of Naphʹta·li was A·hiʹra+ the son of Eʹnan.28 This was the order of departure that the Israelites and their companies* followed when they would depart.+29 Then Moses said to Hoʹbab the son of Reuʹel*+ the Midʹi·an·ite, the father-in-law of Moses: “We are setting out for the place about which Jehovah said, ‘I will give it to you.’+ Do come with us,+ and we will treat you well, because Jehovah has promised good things for Israel.”+30 But he said to him: “I will not go. I will return to my own country and to my relatives.”31 At this he said: “Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our guide.*32 And if you do come with us,+ whatever goodness Jehovah shows to us, we will surely show to you.”33 So they began marching from the mountain of Jehovah+ for a journey of three days, and the ark+ of Jehovah’s covenant traveled before them for the three-day journey to search out a resting-place for them.+34 And Jehovah’s cloud+ was over them by day when they set out from the encampment.35 Whenever the Ark was moved, Moses would say: “Rise up, O Jehovah,+ and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee from before you.”36 And when it would rest, he would say: “Do return, O Jehovah, to the countless* thousands of Israel.”+
