“found out about this book because the author was on a list of books banned in Nazi Germany; it's a satirical anti-war story; very funny and I even read parts to my then 7-year old son; has a very middle European flavor; set during the first World War, it has sometimes been compared to Catch-22 in its insider's view of the military and wartime; apparently not very well known in the West, I really liked this book”

It's an ironic statement anti war, the tyranism of the Habsburgerers, the bureaucratism, militarism and idiocracy of their state and reign and apparently any deeply important political fact of that time in bohemia. Though it's never getting serious and boring but always light and funny. It's brilliant in it's way and timeless - you can learn more about the time and about yourself than by one year's school history lessons or ten years of reading newspapers - and specially: you'll learn the truth... ”

I was laughing so hard, I had to stop reading for minutes at a time throughout the different passages of the book.”
