This passage is incredible. What are you talking about?

>> No.19673498

Louis Barthas' memoir of the first world war called Poilu is my favourite, he's an older French solider and the book just brings WW1 into reality like no other.

A lesser known memoir called The Burning of the World by a Hungarian called Bela Zombory-Moldovan is a shorter book but also really good.

Having a tough time finding a book about the Eastern front of WW1
Most of what I have read just treats it as background of the Russian Revolution

If you want to go deep, Prit Buttar has a 4 part book series on the Eastern front during WW1. I enjoyed them greatly.

What about postwar lit? I’ve been reading outlaws by Ernst von Salomon and it’s pretty great.

That Wrangel book posted above is a pretty good account of the Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War which followed hard on the heels of Russia’s WW1 collapse.
Pic related is also about the aftermath of the Russian Revolution only further to the East in Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet
