All Quiet on the Western Front - Vintage War

The most famous anti-war novel ever written. In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh-faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the ''glorious war''. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young ''unknown soldier'' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches. ''Remarque''s evocation of the horrors of modern warfare has lost none of its force'' The Times TRANSLATED BY BRIAN MURDOCH This series of war novels from Vintage Classics presents eight powerful stories about the horror and waste of war - each a passionate plea to prevent its repetition.
