Soldiers' Field is a novel about David Streiber, a 19-year-old Jewish-American soldier who is transferred to West Germany in 1959, and his experiences in a post-Nazi society 14 years after the end of World War II. He confronts anti-Semitism, racial conflicts between white and black soldiers, and gets involved with German girls contrary to the advice given to him by his mother and an ex-G.I. friend who just returned from Germany. David is stationed in Nuremberg at Merrell Barracks, about a mile from the former Nazi party Rally Grounds. From his barracks window he can see part of the Tribune, where Hitler gave speeches to enormous crowds of soldiers and civilians. The grounds are now called Soldiers' Field, with the letters painted across the front of the Tribune. Germany at that time was American soldiers' field of play for sexual encounters with local women, the heart of much of this coming-of-age story.
