My grandfather served in World War I on the German side and I know its irrational, but this book makes me feel a little closer to him. He died long before I was born and no one knows the details of his service, at this time. He was injured at least once that we know of and I have a photo of him in a hospital gown with his uniform hat on. He also was drafted to serve in WWII. I think its a testament to the power of this book that it is still considered one of the most profound anti-war novels and it remains on summer reading lists for high schoolers. The Marine Corps also includes it on their professional development reading lists for Marines. I served in the Marines but they didn't have a professional reading list back in the 80s!

Both of these classic novels were written during the Weimar period in Germany, 1919-1933. All Quiet on the Western Front is the story of Paul Baumer, a young soldier who enlisted in the German army with youthful enthusiasm just before World War I, only to find himself destroyed by the brutality of trench warfare. His poignant tale is not a treatise on the inhumane nature of combat, but rather the story of one ordinary young man's life-changing experience. As Remarque opens his novel: This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it.
