It is not about war, but about what happens after war when the victors start writing the history. It's not a very big book, you can read it in a day, but it is very changing.

But it's also (especially WWII), such a popular subject... I hate to say it, but the stories all start to be the same. I've never read all of Diary of Anne Frank. Just parts of it.

You may have had enough for now but I can not praise the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker and Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo highly enough. Both are set in WWI and concern the goings on in the mind of a soldier. Regeneration set in a English mental institution and Johnny told as the internal thoughts of a young soldier kept alive in a hospital room despite having no arms, legs, mouth, eyes or face. Pretty grim reading but very worth it. War is a wonderful genre but only when it doesn’t concern the actual fighting which becomes monotonus (sp) to me.
