Captain Pantoja and the Special Service is a 1973 novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. The story centers on Pantaleón Pantoja, a serviceman assigned to form a special army unit: Women's Good Services Company of the Garrisons and Units of the Amazon. It seems completely absurd, but the soldiers need women to serve their desires in hard times. The protagonist, who passionately carries out this order, does not know where this all will lead to.
