All Quiet on the Western Front

A Cultural Comment on the New Yorker website.

For this article I consulted on Wilhelm von Sternburg's Als wäre alles das letzte Mal: Erich Maria Remarque: Eine Biographie as well as Brian Murdoch's The Novels of Erich Maria Remarque: Sparks of Life, Thomas F. Schneider's Erich Maria Remarque: Leben, Werk und weltweite Wirkung, Gavin Schmitt's Karl Freund: The Life and Films, Lesley L. Coffin and Marya E. Gates's Lew Ayres: Hollywood's Conscientious Objector, Harlow Robinson's Lewis Milestone: Life and Films, and Joseph Persico's Eleventh Month, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Hour: Armistice Day, 1918. Much thanks to Michael Agger for editing, Daniel Ajootian for fact-checking, and Carlos Colomer for copy-editing.
