| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about All Quiet on the Western Front |
|---|
From a young German soldier's point of view, the horrors of World War I are discovered through mutilation on the battlefield as well as mental anguish resulting from the fighting. The concept of "hero" and "enemy" are severely questioned through all the bloodshead.
--Sara Embrey, Resident Scholar
