All Quiet On the Western Front. It is a work of fiction featuring a German soldier during World War 1.
Make no mistake, this book does not romanticize war or play it up. Although fiction, this is the story of the pain, the love, and the loss of a German soldier.
Erich Marie Remarque, who was himself a WW1 German soldier accurately portrays the level of horror he and his comrades experienced on the western front.
I find the work quite capable of evoking emotion, and for that I love it.
