I just finished "A Soldier of The Great War" by Mark Helprin. I had been looking for a book like this for a while - just a bloated, obnoxious, unapologetic, interesting story about one Italian soldier's experience in WWI. I'm absolutely in awe of Helprin's reasearch and knowledge of this time period. It's the kind of book that could easily have been 400 pages shorter, but I'm very glad it wasn't. This one will stick with me for a while.
