Under Fire is one of the most powerful book I've ever read. The prose is sublime and made me feel down to my bones, after having studied it for the years, what it felt like to be in the Trenches.

>That sweet Isenheim altarpiece structure

Read Atticus Lish's "Preparation for the Next Life", released last year about an Iraq vet suffering PTSD in New York.

Bumping thread with question, looking for a book I read maybe 10 years ago, story was about a soldier in a Prussian pikeman's regiment in 16th century(?) and the discipline needed to hold ranks to withstand cavalry charges.Their unit gets wiped out multiple times and it follows the surviving MC's story through the war.

I've read 'all quiet...' and thought about reding other his books, because I loved that book so much.
And thank you all for help, I love you guys

Storm of Steel is a must. It'll stop you from thinking every soldier was a depressed existentialist.

Try talking to some soldiers as well for advice, don't get all your info from civvys.

Samuel Finlay - Breakfast with the Dirt Club

I have a lecturer who does personal training on the side. He used to be a marine for 10 years, and he used to walk around his base so that he'd step on a mine and lose an arm or leg. He wasn't suicidal or depressed, he just wanted to get a medal in the Paralympics.
