The classic novel All Quiet On The Western Front by German author Erich Maria Remarque documents the brutality of World War I. Those who live in the US are perhaps more familiar with this story as the book is usually required reading as part of high school and university curriculums. While I have never read the book, I have seen the first film adaptation in a big Hollywood production from 1930.
What makes All Quiet On The Western Front unique is that it's told from the perspective of the opposing forces, meaning the German perspective, which very similar to what Clint Eastwood did in Letters From Iwo Jima (2006), which depicted the experiences and traumatic war events from the perspective of the Japanese.
