Bayonets, Bugles and Bonnets - Experiences
2 types of war books impress me: 1) Reveal and deconstruct "war culture", that which facilitates society to commit the greatest evil, 2) Imprint the depravity of war onto your soul so it can never be forgotten. This book falls into the latter category, such vivid illustrations of how war wrenches the very worst out of everyone involved. There is no mythical heroism, no trace of decency, for every action is in the context of either annihilating another human being or surviving such evil like a tortured creature. Every participant has lost a piece of their autonomy to be a human being. This systemic theft is the greatest evil.
I read this book several years ago, it deserves to be revisited, but I cannot say that I will.
