| | 1. |  | Storm of Steel (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
STORM OF STEEL offers WWI from a German soldier's point of view, but Erich Maria Remarque it ain't. All told, author Ernst Junger was shot multiple times, yet would live not only to write this book (and many others) but to celebrate his 103rd birthday (attended by an unusually patient Grim... more info

from McPherson
Price: $24.00
Customer Review:
All of us whose parents have passed on wish we could have shared moments like these with our fathers. Perhaps we did, but then we lacked the skill that Paul West brings to the printed word. In this book Mr. West relates the story of his being ten yers old in a small English village at the beginning... more info

from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
"A pleasant summer-evening read"? So says a negative reviewer. Huh?
Undertones of War is, with those by Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves, one of the best English memoirs of the First World War (John Lucy's 'There's A Devil in the Drum' is by far the best British memoir, and perhaps the best... more info

| | 5. |  | Toward the Flame: A Memoir of World War I
from University of Nebraska Press
Price: $16.15
Customer Review:
Hervey Allen is at his finest in this carefully crafted memoir of his time as a soldier in France. While he is best known as author of the sweeping historical fiction Anthony Adverse, which was a best seller in the 1930s(and later a pretty mediocre movie), he proves in Towards the Flame that he is... more info

| | 7. |  | Memoirs of an Infantry Officer
from Simon Publications
Price: $32.35
Customer Review:
While perhaps best known for his poetry written during WWI, Siegfried Sassoon was a very talented wordsmith in general, a trait that is demonstrated in his second semi-fictionalized autobiography, "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer". Sassoon chose to fictionalize his accounts of his life, an odd... more info

One of the wittiest memoirs of any era I have ever read. An often bust your gut funny read from a true turn of the century Forrest Gump who grows up to be a war hero.

| | 10. |  | Mysteries of My Father
from Wiley
Price: $24.95
Customer Review:
This is an excellent book that mixes the talents of a good story teller with that of an historian. While the title has "An Irish-American Memoir" in it, it is certainly far more universal than that. It shows how people have to adapt to the world they live in not the one they wished they lived in,... more info
