War literature

War literature encompasses a body of work that reflects the experiences, thoughts, and emotions related to warfare. This includes novels, poetry, memoirs, and essays that capture the realities of soldiers, the impact of conflict on society, and the moral complexities of war. Often, it explores themes of bravery, trauma, loss, and the human condition amidst violence. Well-known examples include Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" and Wilfred Owen's poems from World War I, both highlighting the harsh truths of combat and its lasting effects on individuals and nations.
