Product Description
This war novel is actually an anti-war novel, tracing the lives and losses of a young group of soldiers caught in the brutality of World War I. Gripping, realistic, and searing with a vision inconsistent with post-war German character, this book caused Remarque to receive death threats and to leave Germany to live and work in Hollywood. This concise supplement to Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front helps students understand the overall structure of the novel, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.
