## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great piece of historical writing
        
*by A***E on September 3, 2013*

This book does not need to be reviewed by me!  It is a great classic, and it was from its first publication date in the 1970's.  I read it back then and remember it with pleasure and admiration after all this time. It reads as easily as a novel, in part because Fussell just writes so well, and in part because he has such a lively and original mind.  It has not staled in all these years, indeed, it is as fresh and thought provoking as ever.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I very much enjoyed this book
        
*by J***A on May 16, 2017*

I very much enjoyed this book.  I thought the early sections were very  interesting about the sociology and language of the common soldier, but it dragged a bit at the end.Loved Paul Fussell's book "Class" so thought this was worth a shot and it was.  If you like history books, you should definitely try this one.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book on WWI and Memory
        
*by J***E on February 6, 2013*

Fussell's book on WWI (or the Great War) details the specifics of the Western Front for the British and connects the war and how memories of the war with irony.  He argues that situations and details of the war itself are ironic (such as the proximity of the trenches on the Western Front to England and the language used to described the war as sporty).  He also suggests that people use irony to remember the war, including the literature from the war.  The photographs, maps, and illustrations are amazing and add so much to the book.
