Customer Reviews

If you only read one book on WW11, read this one!5
Simply the best book I have ever read.

This book captures the smell and feel of war. In terms of scale and ferocity the Eastern front of WW11 will be the most brutal war zone man will ever know, The nuclear age means we will never again see such a conflict, No pervious war comes close to this. defeat or capture means almost certain death.

This account is written by someone who was there, Guy Sajer's account makes you come alive.

This book stands as a testament to the courage of the troops on the frontline and a chilling reminder of what they went through.

the most moving read ever!5
...i've read it twice in six months and was deeply moved. from the moment he was in the 19th company to the moment his mother fell into his arms.this as really brought home warfare at it's intense peak.as an ex soldier i could relate to this book and can only imagine what sajer,hals&the rest of them went through,totaly horrific but still comited to the bitter end. ireally would like to know what happend to those that survived especaily hals and paula.

Simply the best book ever written5
Guy Sajer's Forgotten Soldier is far and away the best book I have ever read. His account of his experiences are eloquent and touching. Never has an author managed to convey the feelings and emotions of war as how Sajer has done. I could not let go of this book and read it in the space of a day and a night....absolutley riveted to it. Sajer left me so transfixed that once I finished the book, I went-on line to find out more info about him and his book (at 4 in the morning). I only wish he would have written a longer epilogue so I could have found out more about his surviving comrades. If ever you should go out of your way to buy a book, it should be for this one. I know that for as long as I live I will never forget it.
