What are your favourite primary sources re: [especially 20th century] military campaigns? The best accounts from all sides, tour diaries and the like

Particularly interesting/underrepresented campaigns (i.e. Rhodesia) especially encouraged

Reddit, you all are actually getting unironically boring. This is absurd. Most of us live a post-ironic life so you all don't have any material to fuck with, leaving you with "hurr durr loner". This invariably falls short of your expectations because its simply inconceivable to you that a person would live an ascetic literary lifestyle.

You all are unoriginal and your insults are boring and ineffective, that is why you are unsuccessful.

Finished this one last week, it was pretty good. A bit repetitive, but a nice story. I'm pretty sure Junger was slightly autistic or something, his total lack of fear of death is incredible.

He did have that one bit early on where he totally lost his shit during some heavy shelling and just fucking ran for it.

But in general, yeah. It's amazing what humans can learn to deal with.

That scene towards the end where he was counting up how many times he'd been shot, and estimated 14 different bullet holes in his body made me laugh.

Same with the story where he'd been shot in the lung, was being carried out of the trenches, his carrier got shot, was dragged out by someone else, who also got shot, then had to make a run for it despite having a hole in his lung.

There's what humans can deal with and there's Junger. He must have started thinking he was invincible after a while though, what he went through and kept going back to was insane.
