Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks
This book did it for me, because the 'Flanders fields' were, well, pretty close to my family. It's a novel, but he does it with great sensitivity, detail, and respect.
It helps me understand what my grand-father experienced. As when he got back home, he never, ever, said anything about the war, if anyone asked he just smiled and kinda looked away.
- In which respect it reminds me of Chickenhawk re: Vietnam
