I have recently finished All quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and was just wondering if there were any other books similar to it.

I recommend anything by Harold Calin, he really captures the essence of soldier combat. My favourite is "Return To The Ardennes", set in the Battle Of The Bulge.
