Description:

Everywhere Company K went the men forged a record of discord and misbehavior–widespread absenteeism, insubordination, intramural violence and protests sometimes bordering on mutiny. This book describes just how Company K disintegrated. However bizarre the behavior of Company K may appear to an outsider, it becomes readily comprehensible once incidents are viewed through the eyes of the participants. This story emphasizes the way in which beliefs and sentiments–concerning the army, their leaders, and especially themselves developed.
