Good-bye To All That by Robert Graves

One of the definitive memoirs of the Great War, Graves applies his poetic sensibilities to his experiences as an infantry officer on the Western Front and how those experiences smashed his psyche and those of his compatriots (as well as their bodies). Read his war poetry at the same time to get a very intimate look at the reality of industrial war.
