Pic related is okay. I read it in school. Probably one of the better books we read.
Mason Campbell
Yeah I read it as a teen too. Enjoyed it but unsure if it's one of those "this is the best book ever because I'm 16" type deals.
Jackson Stewart
Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger is a great memoir of WWI
Leo Jones
General Sherman Autobiography
Chase Young
Erich Maria Remarque - All quiet on the western front
Colton Evans
For memoirs I recommend Pokrishkin (Sky of war or however they translated it in English), F.W von Mellenthin(Panzer battles), Robert Mason (Chickenhawk) and Tim Bax (Three sips of gin).
Nathaniel Sullivan
Dispatches by Michael Herr is an essential one if you can handle something that isn't very linear
Christopher Evans
all quiet on the western front is pretty great
Christian Sanders
The Things They Carried is a very good book for a war memoir, because it treats war as a literary subject instead of recollecting his experiences.
Tolstoy's Sevastopol Sketches and Borowski's This way for the gas, ladies and gentlemen are good as well
Samuel Perez

Storm of Steel as always
Matterhorn
Panzer Leaderby by Heinz Guderian
The Black March by "Peter Neumann"
Levi Fisher
David Kenyon Webster's book about his time in the 101st is great and where Ambrose stole most of the stuff for BoB.
He realised how retarded the army is and (rightfully) complains about it.
Luis Jenkins
Ernie O'Malleys "on another man's wound" is the most literary soldiers memoir to come out of the British Irish conflict. It was an influence on ken loaches wind that shakes the barley. He spent time in the Taos art colony and associated with a lot of writers and artists in America. Walked a similar path to junger I feel
Cooper Russell
A Moment Of War by Laurie Lee
Leo Brown
Cheers, you sick cunts
Alexander Clark

Luis Roberts
Only the cool kids read the things they carried in high school
If you didn't you were an outcast even if you didn't have to for your class
Easton Young
Johnny Got His Gun by Trumbo. Brutal stuff.
Owen Walker
Toward the Flame by Hervey Allen
Dominic Parker
Catch-22 is fucking brilliant.
Kevin Price
In parenthesis David Jones.
Dylan Thompson
Redeployment- Phil Klay. Short stories about Marines in/returned from Afghanistan. Pretty devastating at times, strangely funny at others.
Kayden Bennett
Empire of the Sun by JG Ballad isn't a war memoir as such but it's a great read
It's about life as a kid in a Japanese internment camp
Nathaniel Ward
If anyone would know where in the internet I could steal this book I would be grateful.
Legionnaire: Five Years in the French Foreign Legion
by Simon Murray
Sebastian Fisher
Matterhorn.
Colton Cruz
Step aside, patrician comin through
Lincoln Thompson
Soldiers Alive by Ishikawa
Fire on the Plains by Ooka Shohei
Anything by Medoruma Shun, but he primarily deals with post generational Okinawan war trauma
Japan At War - Oral Histories is a good read as well.
Bentley Martinez
OK, I've bought it. Fuck you all.
Matthew Smith
OP wanted memoirs and fiction, not a non-fiction book relating the history of an ancient peoples sung by the Muse.
