MEMOIRS AND DIARIES:

 * **//AUTHOR//** || **//TITLE//** || **//DESCRIPTION//** || **//PRIMARY//**
 * //SOURCE?//** ||
 * Vera Brittain || Testament of Youth || Memoirs of a young English woman on the even of and during the Great War. Themes are: 1) the futility and devastation of that war, 2) the lost generation, 3) nationalism, 4) impact of war on societal (Victorian) norms, 5) a woman's view of the war || yes ||
 * Ernst Junger || The Storm of Steel || Memoir of a young German officer in the trenches during WWI. Junger was energized by war, deals with and rationalizes death. His descriptions of the bombardment, charges, and hand-to-hand fighting is graphic. Junger posesses the "warrior spirit." This is a good memoir to contrast with //All Quiet on the Western Front//. || yes ||
 * Erich Maria Remarque || All Quiet on the Western Front || Memoir of a young German soldier during WWI. Fired by the nationalistic fever enveloping Germany and his school, Remarque and his schoolboy friends enlist in the German army. None of them are prepared for the visciousness and carnage of war, and the author deeply questions the nature of war. Provides good view of the older Germans who, early in the war, enthusiastically encourage the young to take up arms and fight. || yes ||
