in World War One
by John S. D. Eisenhower (June 2001)
Fought
far from home, World War I was nonetheless a stirring American adventure. The achievements
of the United States during that war, often underrated by military historians, were in
fact remarkable, and they turned the tide of the conflict. So says John S. D. Eisenhower,
one of today's most acclaimed military historians, in his sweeping history of the Great
War and the men who won it: the Yanks of the American Expeditionary Force.

 The
Storm of Steel : From the Diary of a German Stormtroop Officer on the Western Front
by Ernst Junger
A good
book that gives excellent insight to the German perspective of the war from the eyes of a
highly decorated Sturmtrupp. The book captures the monotony of trench warfare, the pysche
of the soldier and the vicious small unit actions that took place along the front. Ernst
Junger was quite a character and a popular German writer (Web site: juenger.org) The book was written is the 30's so it does
have a little jingoistic tone to it. Junger was active in working reassert Germany
back into world's society and to help heal some of the scars caused by the war.
Recommended by Rich Shoop.
