About this title: THE ROAD BACK After four grueling years the Great War has finally ended. Now Ernst and the few men left from his company cannot help wondering what will become of them. The town they departed as eager young men seems colder, their homes smaller, the reasons their comrades had to die even more inexplicable. For Ernst and his friends, the road back to peace is more treacherous than they ever imagined. Suffering food shortages, political unrest, and a broken heart, Ernst undergoes a crisis that teaches him what there is to live for--and what he has that no one can ever take away.

"This is follow-up to All's Quiet on the Western Front. It takes a select group of German soldiers at the very end of the war and returns them to civilian life. Very interesting and highly recommended but not the impact of All's Quiet."
"This is the sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front, and it may be more quietly powerful. There are some of the snippets of gruesome battle scenes, but this book that takes place after World War I shows the soldiers disillusioned with the war's purpose, alienated from their friends and life before the war and adrift when they try to resume their lives at home. Trained as soldiers in a brutal war, they have a hard time finding their place in society and find themselves missing the camaraderie of their fellow soldiers."
"If you are in to German history, especially WWI-WWII, you need to read this book and all of Remarque's works. No one brings it down to the human experience like Erich, especially when you consider the fact that you start rooting for the Germans, or least sympathizing with them in terms of some of the things the Allies did to them. This is good, but please read his "A Time to Love, and a Time to Die", if you truly want a German perspective of the Eastern Front during WWII. All of these works are incredible and no one reads them anymore."
