"All Quiet on the Western Front" is Remarque's best known novel about WWI. It chronicles the life of a German recruit who is promised that fighting for Germany will make him a man. He soon discovers that instead of becoming a man it makes him unfit for humanity. He finally finds hope while sharing a position with a dying enemy soldier. This is a great read because the author used his pen to promot self healing after he returned from the front line, where he was injured five times.

I have read it a couple of times growing up. I recommend that everyone reads it.
