I hadn't realized there was so much in this subgenre. Thank you for assembling them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I don't suppose there's a similar list for the Western Front is there? I'd be curious as to what your favorites would be for this genre
ReplyDeleteHere's a Western Front Starter Set
DeleteAll Quiet on the Western Front, Remarque
Birdsong, Faulks
Verdun, Romain
Regeneration, Barker
Through the Wheat, Boyd
Let's don't forget Thomason's Fix Bayonets (1926).
DeletePrevious comment by me.
DeleteThanks. I have AQOTWF as well as Verdun. I've heard of Birdson but not the other two. All look them up. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteRegeneration is fascinating, bold, humane.
ReplyDeleteMaisie Dobbs is a surprise, a detective story that heaves up the war.
If you don't mind Italy, Farewell to Arms is a well deserved classic. If you can go a little more east still, The Good Soldier Švejk is another classic.
Ones I haven't read, but want to: A Very Long Engagement. Fear. The Return of the Soldier. A Long Long Way. At Night All Blood is Black.
What about Sagittarius rising?
ReplyDeleteNew one for me. How is it?
DeleteSagittarius Rising by Cecil Lewis is considered an aviation classic, but it's a memoir, rather than a novel.
