What is Tiger at the gates: (La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu) [Play] about?

Tiger at the Gates, first produced in London in June 1955, is a translation of La Guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu, a brilliant and bitter comedy set in Troy, a city doomed to betrayal and destruction. The story is of Hector, a military man who knows the horror and degradation of war, struggling to preserve peace in the face of jingoistic sentiment and mob hysteria. Jean Giraudoux, one of the greatest modern French dramatists, is beginning to be a familiar name in this country. His wit and delicacy of style combined with deep poetic emotion are not easy to render in English, but at last in Christopher Fry the perfect translator has been found
