Animati dall’orgoglio per il proprio paese, incalzati dal professor Kanterok e persino dai genitori (anch’essi darebbero loro dei vigliacchi se non lo facessero), Paul Bäumer e molti dei suoi compagni partono volontari per il fronte.

Reunited in the Haitian jungles, in the midst of a fierce rebel uprising, they confront the most dangerous enemy of all - each other.
