 Under the guise of a murder mystery, A Soldier's Play deals with the
racism that permeated the South during the closing months of World War II.
 At a segregated camp in Louisiana, an angry, unpopular Black Sergeant is
murdered.  His regiment blames the Klan, the establishment blames the
platoon.  It is not until the first African American officer comes on the
scene to unlock the secrets lurking under the surface.

 Adapted into the 1984 Award winning film A Soldier's Story starring Denzel
Washington.
