Summary:
"Captain Jim McFarlane, a
Canadian
infantry officer, is coming apart at the seams. It's September 1944, in Italy, and the allied armies are closing in on the retreating Axis powers. Exhausted and lost, Jim tries to command his combat company under fire, while waiting desperately for letters from his wife Marianne. Joining the
army
not out of some admirable patriotic sentiments but rather because of his own failings and restlessness, he finds himself fighting in a
war
that is far from glorious. Murphy has brilliantly captured our ambiguous relationship to
war
