First in the category of Autobiography/Memoir
Scouting Thrills: The Memoir of a Scout Officer in the Great War - George B. McKean
Just a real interesting book regarding world war I and Lt McKean, a Victoria Cross recipient and his actions in the war. It is interesting that the book was marketed towards youth when it was originally published and it contains some of the most gruesome descriptions of combat that I have ever encountered.
