Just started with
True Grit. The trench scene from St. Eloi mine destruction rings true. The mud scenes and the "pee on your shirt" scenes could be used in a history and/or ELA class. Ok, so the gang rape of a fellow soldier and the subsequent "going off the deep end" moments that follow might be where the controversy comes in. I only remember people at university hating the book and I was unclear then, why. Still and all a good novel about WWI.
