It is obvious from the opening chapter that this novel will center on the war and the effects it has on a young group of soldiers, none of them more than twenty years of age. They are all friends and former classmates of Paul Baumer, the narrator and protagonist of the book; they have enlisted in the German infantry because their teacher, Kantorek, had painted for them a glorious picture of fighting and saving the homeland from destruction during World War I. In this first chapter, Baumer and his friends are away from the front lines, relaxing a bit after two weeks of fierce fighting. As each of the young men is introduced, it is apparent that they are tired, hungry, angry, and disillusioned over the war.

Despite the problematic events, a profusion of events have shaped America for the better. Major events in the 19th century have changed our society in countless methods.

Since the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, the United States of America has experienced a great amount of changes from then to now. One example of change in America occurred during a time of great prosperity. In the 1920’s America experienced a time of enjoyment and where no one fretted over money. However, after the stock market crash in 1929, America entered the Great Depression, forever altering history. The Great Depression caused many people to lose their jobs and many people did not how to get their next meal. This was a time of great change. Another change occurred when the United States came out of the Great Depression, a time of great suffering, into World War II. The second world war caused America to stop

During the years of 1914-1945 Americans experienced both the best and the worst times in American history. For example, Americans had to deal with two world wars, the great depression, and the great dust bowl, which all caused a great amount of deaths, and have all made a major change in the US economy both good and bad.

In Killing Patton by Bill O'reilly and Martin Dugard, they tend to gloss over some important events that are not as exciting as personal accounts of soldiers. Rather than spend most of the book talking about patton and how he was dealing with these events, the authors tended to put less about patton and more about how an individual soldier was going through on the front lines.

Jack Higgins ' novel is set in dangerous World War II Europe, which has a rippling affect on the characters. To begin with, this novel 's events take place between Germany and England, two European countries. These enemies were two of the most active countries during World War II. These intense adversaries fought many battles throughout Europe and around the world. In fact, "The Second World War was fought in Europe, in Russia, North Africa and in Asia" ("World War 2: The War Spreads."). The setting of the novel is in Europe, and this is where most of the fighting happened. Even though most of the war occurred in Europe and Pacific, battles were fought all over the world. In

The historical context of the book is post World War I, and the influence of the war can be felt in the many battles that happen throughout the story, with good trying to defeat evil.

Written in 1989, the narrative traces the World War II hero Michael Gallatin as he moves to North Africa, back to Europe and a flashback on his childhood in Russia.
