Reply to comment by AtraMikaDelia in Non-romance/smut books (other subplots) by throwaway-clonewars

Those are interesting. From the sounds of it, those are all war type books or heavily plotted around battle type situations where there's not much down or free time

I don't think that's an accurate description at all. They are all focused on the war, mostly because I was trying to think of books without women and there's not many women on the front lines of WW1, but even in war there's huge amounts of downtime. All Quiet especially is mostly focused on this part, and I'd estimate a good third of Storm of Steel is simply Junger describing what he and his comrades did while taking cover from artillery.

The Road Back is set immediately after the war, so if course it has nothing to do with combat at all.

Ah. My bad, I was really just guessing based on the titles. I'm usually not a history/historical fiction reader so im usually just guessing about what the books are about
