BOTM for June 2016 is All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. It is a testament of paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army of World War I. They become soldiers with youthful enthusiasm.

"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war" the opening in my book lets us know that this will be an antiwar book.
