Through the experience of the protagonist, Szeke, an ordinary soldier, from being drafted into the army to going to the front line during the First World War, the author profoundly exposes the vicious tyranny of the rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the corruption and depravity of the army. The novel vividly describes the imperialist army's rape and robbery of the people, the absurd relationship between officers and soldiers, their animal-like ferocity towards prisoners, and the stupidity and greed of officers at all levels.
