Ismael, un anciano profesor jubilado, y su mujer, Otilia, viven morosa y modestamente en el pueblo de San Jose desde hace cuatro decenios. A Ismael le gusta espiar a la mujer de su vecino, y Otilia suele reconvenirlo, avergonzada. Hasta que el ambiente idilico del pueblo se enrarece. Las desapariciones de algunos familiares extienden el miedo entre los habitantes de San Jose y parecen preludiar sucesos aun mas graves. Una manana, tras volver de un paseo, Ismael se entera de que unos soldados de no sabe que ejercito se han llevado a sus vecinos. Le cuentan tambien que su mujer lo ha estado buscando e intenta dar con ella en vano... Los ataques continuan y, cuando los acontecimientos se precipitan y se desata la violencia, los supervivientes deciden huir antes de que sea tarde. Pero Ismael opta por quedarse en el pueblo devastado. Una decision que le revelara un destino oscuro e imprevisible. Los ejercitos obtuvo el Premio Tusquets Editores de Novela 2006, fallado el pasado 29 de noviembre de 2006, en el marco de la Feria del Libro de Guadalajara. El jurado del premio compuesto por Alberto Manguel, en calidad de presidente, Almudena Grandes, Alberto Ruy Sanchez, Francisco Goldman, Beatriz de Moura (en representacion de la editorial) y Aurelio Major (en calidad de secretario) destaco la singular elegancia y la maestria, no exentas de dramatismo, con que Evelio Rosero aborda un asunto no por habitual menos dificil de tratar: la violencia arbitraria e irracional que asuela a un pueblo.
