I want everything related to war. World War I, World War II, modern conflicts — I don’t care. If it's about war, I want to read it. Memoirs, novels, reports, poetry, I’m in. Bonus points if it was written by someone who actually fought or was there on the front lines as a war correspondent. Real shit. No sanitized crap. Give me the blood, the mud, and the madness.

OP is a subhuman monkey and demands spoon feeding. I fucking hate useless threads like this one.
Go look up any goodreads list of War Books, ask shartGPT, or at least google any article called Top 20 books about war to read before you die.
You have to seed the discussion or come up with irresistible bait (a lust-provoking image, typically). Sorry I called you a monkey.

I watched Das Boot and had no idea it was based on a novel—what a surprise. Thanks for the recommendation!

Heh, I’ve already burned through just about every war book that’s been translated into Korean. I’m Korean, so yeah—libraries here are kinda limited. That’s why I turned to Reddit to see what others had to say. You’re damn right—I’m a damn monkey scrounging for scraps.

I have the irresistible urge to hug you

Hug me all you want, brother. I need it.

Just finished Goethe's Elective Affinities a minute ago, and Sorrows of young Werther - yesterday. So my senses are highly romanticized right now.

For WW2 memoirs/bio check out Guy Sajer - Last soldier, Laura Hillenbrand - Unbroken.

You're in for a treat.
The book is fuckin' sick!

To add on Storm of Steel, Junger wrote several other books on his experience in the war, not all of these are exactly documentary-esque, but really add to the entirety of his experience
>War as an Inner Experience, he literally mentions it as a supplement to Storm of Steel
>Copse 125, a much more detailed line of events from a specific moment in the battle of Cambrai
>Fire and Blood, only the final battle told in Storm of Steel with much greater detail

Also, while not exactly being a war memoir, I recommend "On Pain" as to see the philosophy that got imbued in his mind after the war
