Thanks to Valis for the list of War novels -- and for all his other posts, which I read avidly. I want to mention another war book. As an Irish kid growing up in the 1930s I learned to hate Winston Churchill for what he did in Ireland. And so was never taken in when the propaganda beatifying him came out during WW II. Churchill deserves major responsibility for the WW I slaughter at Gallipolli. Note that Churchill poured the Australians and New Zealanders into the graves there, another manifestation of colonial mentality. Gallipolli -- a good read about a horrible slaughter.
