The story

What Is Carter’s Army About?

The premise of Carter’s Army without spoilers.

A prejudiced officer is assigned to lead an all‑black unit tasked with demolishing a strategically vital hydro‑dam deep within Nazi‑occupied Germany. Success would speed the Allied push; failure risks delaying the advance and extending the war, while the crew grapples with both external danger and internal racial tension.
