This is the classic anti-war novel about young German soldiers during World War I. Twenty-year old Paul Baumer's world of work, duty, culture, and progress is shattered under the first bombardment in the trenches. He vows to fight against the principle of hate that pits young men of the same generation against each other. Few books have ever achieved such dramatic acclaim or enduring success.

“The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure.”—The New York Times Book Review
