Status Updates From Memoirs of an Infantry Officer

"The War had become undisguisedly mechanical and inhuman. What in earlier days had been drafts of volunteers were now droves of victims."

Well of course it is wonderful. Some have said that it is the finest book about war in the English language. I will not disagree although I have read several others that could be put forward to challenge that claim. What I love most, however, is how refreshingly honest its narrator is. You should read this book.
