[WWI] What's your favorite OT memoir?

[Matt Kessler]

Wow!  Thanks for all the replies!  Looks like I've got a slew of good books
to go hunting for!  Thanks much!

I am surprised to see Longstreet's Canvas Falcons show up though.  I've got
that book, and it always felt sort of "pulpy".  That being said, I've tried
several times to find something he says that is a flat-out creation, and I
can't.  Well, other than the Red Baron being downed in an Albatros.

To Ernest Thomas:
Amazingly enough, I've got Graves' book on the shelf here, and I've read
Trumbo.  Trumbo's work was very, very good.  Definitely not a book for
someone looking for something uplifting, but it does cast a certain
perspective on the absurdity of war.

To Michael Kendix:
I'll have to look up Sassoon's book.  I was relatively unfamiliar with him
until I saw the movie "Behind the Lines" (which also had an alternate title
which I can't remember), which I am guessing was a fictionalized account of
Sassoon's time in the shell-shock ward during his protest against the war.
If you haven't seen it, I thought it was a very powerful film, with some
very vivid, if disturbing, images.  Anyway, it got me looking and led me to
some of Sassoon's poems.

Thanks again,
Matt
