Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, Ok, everybody knows that war is bad, and that people die in it, I mean, that's the whole point isn't it? It's supposed to be something to be avoided, otherwise it wouldn't be a successful method of solving problems. In the case of World War One, I agree with most of the things said in this book, but you can't generalise to all wars. The whole point of a war is to secure the common welfare, and preserve the needs of the many. put plainly, some things are worth fighting for. In this book Remarque shows his ignorance by seeming not to realise this. I will agree that most wars have not been for the good of the people, but you can't make a blanket statement, manipulating millions of individuals with the pacifistic propaganda presented in this book. On this book's behalf, i will state that as far as books they make you read in school go, it's pretty good.
