“I am young. I am 20 years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another.”

Even though it is a work of fiction, there is barely no distinction between what happened to Paul and his classmates and thousand real young man who went off to war thinking they were doing their duty for the country, only to be thrown into a meat-grinder and slaughtered without even a chance to survive.
Amazing book that is ever so relevant to any decade and time period. Yes, it is a novel that denounces war in all its ugly forms, yet here we are in the future and have learned nothing from one of two of the biggest and deadliest events in history.

The quintessential anti-war story. Written in first person from the author’s personal experience on the frontline in the German forces during WWI. We listen to his inner thoughts and fears as he progresses from patriotic fighter to dissenter, no longer seeing enemies but seeing only human beings. It is hauntingly graphic in detailing the horrific suffering of wartime military and civilian lives.
