We The Peoples

By Philip JN Cohen

Philip JN Cohen explores the dimensions of patriotism and politics in his debut work. "We The Peoples" follows the story of new army recruit Caleb Quinn as he grapples to understand his post-revolutionary world. In the heat of battle he is captured by the enemy, spending time in a POW camp. Upon his return home, he finds himself isolated from his friends and comrades, and bolts into the sewer. Will he make it out alive?

Examine the nature and limits of our obligations to the state and vice versa, in this dystopian military drama.

This novella is based on an earlier story, written by the author while he was serving in the U.S. Army and never published.
