For a very rare few books the 5 star rating is insufficient. This book is among the apex of that group. It is without a doubt the best book written about war. It is searing in its simplicity, heart-rending in its frankness. This is one of those few books that everyone should read. I honestly felt like dragging a few authors of alleged classics to the blasted landscape of the Western Front to show them how to write a soul touching classic of epic proportions while still keeping in touch with the essential humanity of the individual. ( ![]() M.1.1 Hasta una persona que no sabe qué guerra tuvo lugar entre 1914 y 1918, como yo, puede disfrutar el libro. The greatest war novel. While the protagonist is German, one of the truths is just how interchangeable the soldiers on all sides were. "The Lost Generation" and how it was created is detailed. I can't imagine enduring that level of terror near continuously for months/years; I've been in places where there was constant background low-grade risk, and periodic chaos and terror, but only for seconds to hours at a time, interspersed with relative safety and comfort. WW1 (and certain parts of WW2, although generally not fronts where the US was involved) were far worse and for far longer. Even after seeing the movie several times this is a powerful book. One can still see the shock value it had in 1930, just twelve years after the Great War ended.
