Consider All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. Recommended by 7 sources.
“Plain, economical prose drops you into frontline life and tracks the slow erosion of youthful enthusiasm into numbness. What works best is the intimate, day‑to‑day realism—small details of mud, fear, boredom and comradeship make the horror immediate. The main limitation is repetitiveness: similar episodes of bombardment, fatigue and brief leaves can blunt narrative momentum. Narrow viewpoint keeps wider politics offstage, so expect an emotionally draining, tightly focused portrait rather than a panoramic history.”
