Norbert's unit is deployed to a position on the Dnestr River, defending against the Russian Red Army, their former Allies, who are now determined to lay claim to Ukrainian territory. (An especially ironic turn of events, given today's real world events more than a hundred years later.) Conan, his men, the deserter and other prisoners are being held in a nearby makeshift prison. A climactic battle between the French and Russians in and around the river reveals further nuances in the meanings of loyalty and brotherhood.
The book's final chapter acts as an epilogue, with its encounter between Norbert and a much-changed Conan several years later. It nearly broke my heart.
The novel succeeds on many levels: for its multidimensional characters, its historical value, and, probably more than anything, as an anti-war statement about how some battle heroes, returned to civilian life, can no longer fit in, and may even become social pariahs. CAPTAIN CONAN deserves a place among war lit classics. Very very highly recommended.
