Book Description:
Paul Baumer enlisted with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Youthful, enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other--if only he can come out of the war alive.
"The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first trank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure."

DUANE M. (Well written and reflects the lower middle class of Amnerica conditoin durin around the 1st WW.
Disturbing view of war, very powerful and pretty fast reading too. Not for the faint of heart.
The classic German novel of World War I. Remarque fought in the war himself and his descriptions of trench warfare in France are vivid. A great read for anyone, especially those interested in history or human nature during wartime.
