One thing I love about books like this is how taken out of context parts of this book written by the evil baby-impaling Hun could've been written today by any young soldier heading out to Iraq or Afghanistan:

Grown up in an age of security, we shared a yearning for danger, for experience of the extraordinary. We were enraptured by war. We had set out in a rain of flowers, in a drunken atmosphere of blood and roses. Surely the war has to supply us with what we wanted; the great, the overwhelming, the hallowed experience. We thought of it as manly, as action, a merry dulling party on flowered blood-bedewed meadows. ' No finer death in all the world than...' Anything to participate, not to have to stay at home!


But yeah, check it out. It's only <300 pages and should be available in most used book stores.
