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.

Narrow viewpoint keeps wider politics offstage, so expect an emotionally draining, tightly focused portrait rather than a panoramic history.”
