Fear: A Novel of World War I by Gabriel Chevallier

4.0

An honest accounting of the war. It lacks the moral vacillation of Remarque. It's evident that even twelve years after the war's end, Chevallier was still filled with indignation at those who had done so much to insure the war would happen and then did so little to stop it. And he begins to get at something that WWI gave the world a great insight into: war is not an aberration of industrialized society, it is the apex of industrialized society. Anyone with an interest in the war should read this book.
