James Cramer recommends five books that illustrate how War Is Hell:
- The Irish Guards In the Great War by Rudyard Kipling (Doubleday, 1923).
- Lost Victories by Erich von Manstein (Regnery, 1958).
- Some Desperate Glory by Edwin Campion Vaughan (Henry Holt, 1981).
- Storm of Steel by Ernst Jünger (1920).
- But Not for the Fuehrer by Helmut Jung, with Mike Nesbitt (AuthorHouse, 2004).
