The Carabineers
A darkly comic, formally inventive critique of war's dehumanizing machinery, told through the letters and delusions of two duped soldiers.
During a war in an imaginary country, unscrupulous soldiers recruit poor farmers with promises of an easy and happy life. Two of these farmers write to their wives of their exploits.
