5.0 out of 5 stars
ONE OF THE BEST WWI HISTORICAL NON-FICTION NOVELS!, August 18, 2010
This review is from: Forward,Gunner Asch ! (Mass Market Paperback)
Like another of Hans Hellmut Kirst's novels, The Night of the Long Knives, this book is an amazing, lucid account
of the everyday life of a front-line soldier.
In this particular case, the German soldier with all the humaness and
humanity of all soldiers, regardless of what side they are fighting on.
This wonderful book fully shows the
madness of the commanders and politicans who lead men into war.
Remarkably, Hans Hellmut Kirst's novel displays the hilarious sarcasm of the front-line soldier.
This great book reads like a German version of the T.V. series "MASH!"
I highly recommend this wonderful writer and his books.
