Summary "A Soldier's Home Is Battle" by Lowell Stone is a science fiction story written in the early 1950s. The narrative is set in a post-apocalyptic world where atomic warfare has devastated cities and lives. The book explores themes of duty, desperation, and the emotional toll of combat, specifically focusing on a soldier's struggle to balance his responsibilities to his country with his longing for his family in the aftermath of a catastrophic attack. The story follows Private First Class Jerry Conlon, who, while stationed at an atomic gun post, witnesses the obliteration of his city and fears for the safety of his wife and son. Despite the chaos surrounding him and the loss of most of his unit, Jerry grapples with the concept of duty versus his personal desire to return home. As he learns from his Lieutenant that all government communication is lost and their situation seems hopeless, tensions rise. Ultimately, Jerry's resolve is tested as he confronts the futility of his situation, leading to a pivotal moment of realization about loyalty and survival amid overwhelming despair. The book captures the profound emotional conflict faced by soldiers and the stark realities of war in a world altered by atomic destruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
