The Brig by Mason Powell
In Mason Powell's first novel, the unique world of military discipline is explored with unflinching honesty and imagination.

The time is the close of the Vietnam War. The situation, for a Petty Officer who is also a conscientious objector, is hopeless. In a desperate attempt to escape the mindless brutality around him, this innocent young sailor steps into a nightmare world where his masculinity is stripped from his frame, layer by agonizing layer. Before he leaves the Brig, he will be broken... completely broken.

In The Brig, Mason Powell outlines a military gone mad with power, then fills in explicit, provocative scenes of punishment and discipline unlike any you have read before.
