Ten top books about The First World War

Justin Go is author of The Steady Running Of The Hour. For the Telegraph, he tagged his ten favorite works about The First World War, including:

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT by Erich Maria Remarque

This classic novel derives its tragic power from its simplicity. By following a group of young soldiers in their journey from naïve schoolchildren to hardened soldiers, Remarque gives us intimate access to a generation coming to age in brutal combat.

One of the great anti-war novels, it has shaped our image not only of the Great War but of all warfare and its human consequences.
