A classic about WW 1. The best book I have read as far as concerns the actual experience of trench warfare, from visual description of the banal horrors to be seen around you, to the psychological effect on the soldier's thoughts and reactions.
None of the the heroic histrionics nor the joys of camaraderie myths.
An introduction to the realities of any war...
Remarque went on to write some other successful books which are no longer remembered much. Must track some down.
