Checkpoint
Albahari, David
Genre:
"Atop a hill
deep in the forest
an army unit is assigned to a checkpoint. The commander doesn't know where they are
what border they're protecting
or why. Their map is useless and the radio crackles with a language no one can recognize. A soldier is found dead in a latrine and the unit vows vengeance--but the enemy is unknown. Refugees arrive seeking safe passage to the other side of the checkpoint
however the biggest threat might be the soldiers themselves. As the commander struggles to maintain order and keep his soldiers alive
he isn't sure whether he's fighting a war or caught in a bizarre military experiment. Equal parts Waiting for Godot and Catch-22
Checkpoint is a haunting and hysterical confrontation with the absurdity of war."--Amazon.com.
