520    This is a personal narrative depicting the confusion of 
       thought and action in post-war Germany. It is November 
       1918. Germany has just surrendered after four years of the
       most savage warfare in history. It is teetering on the 
       brink of total social and economic collapse, and the 
       German people now lie at the mercy of new, liberal 
       politicians who despise everything Germany once stood for.
       The Communists are rioting in the streets, threatening to 
       topple the new government in Weimar and bring about their 
       own revolution. The frontline soldiers are returning from 
       the hell of the war to find an unrecognizable land, the 
       principles and traditions they had sacrificed so much to 
       defend now the stuff of mockery. The narrator of The 
       Outlaws, a 16-year-old military cadet, is too young to 
       have served in the trenches, but feels the sting of this 
       betrayal no less than they. Since Germany's armies have 
       been all but disbanded, he joins the paramilitary 
       Freikorps - groups of veterans who refuse to lay down 
       their arms, and who have pledged to stop the Communists - 
       and begins fighting, first in the streets of Germany's 
       cities, and then in the Baltic states, defending Germany's
       eastern frontiers from Communist subversion while ignoring
       the calls to disengage by the meek politicians at home. 
       After months of intense fighting abroad, the Freikorps 
       soldiers return to settle scores with their enemies in 
       Germany, dreaming of a nationalist counter-revolution, and,
       their trigger fingers still itchy, fix their sights on 
       bringing down the hated new government once and for all
