extremely funny memoirs saturated with black homour & bitter sarcasm.

a down-to-earth representation of fighting tommy.(unexpurgated version)

we few, we happy few, we band of brothers - a sort of battalion history in the form of personal memoir.

a stark & powerful narrative of war by a controversial german writer.

a powerful & critical account of the horrors of War.

a battalion history of the (celebrated) 2nd Royal Welch Fusiliers (where Sassoon, Graves, and Frank Richards served) in the form of collective memoirs & war diaries. a remarkable book!

those scarifying poems!

comedy only suits for us - Friedrich Durrenmatt. yes, not exactly accurate historical represetation, but this is a comedy after all. you will laugh and laugh, then weep in the end.

a dissertation on the dynamics and mechanism of the European State System in the long nineteeth century, helps you understand the orgins & the cataclysm of WW1. academic, but quite readable.

Keegan's general history of WW1.

a very compelling narrative of the outbreak and the first-month military phase of the war.

the subtitle says all - everyday expriences of the british soldier in WW1, very thorough as well as enganging. I think Holmes's revisionistic arguments, as a whole, are well-ballanced and convincing.
