(Editor)

Storm of Steel : From the Diary of a German Stormtroop Officer on the
Western Front, by Ernst Junger.
Seven
Pillars of Wisdom : A Triumph, T.E.Lawrence
The
Red Air Fighter, by Manfred Von Richthofen. The only book written by
the "Red Baron" before he was killed. This book was considered by its author to
be somewhat insolent in its tone, but at the time he was a recently successful
young man, who was writing for the consumption of the population at home. Had
he sruvived the war, he would most likely have written in a very different
tone. A reprint of this book is also available on-line here in the WTJ
Archives

reprint of Eddie Rickenbacker's 1919 memoirs, also available on-line here in
the WTJ Archives.

Attacks, Erwin Rommel. A reprint of Rommel's 1937 handbook for
infantry. Represents all his observations and experience from the First World
War, including critical assessments of each action and its results.
