Little, Brown and Company issued the first American printing of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT in June 1929 with this eighth printing released just weeks later in July and, although early printings enjoyed exceptionally large print runs, copies with surviving dust jackets are uncommon.

Wheen tipped in, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 319pp. Possibly the most famous anti war novel ever written. One by one the boys begin to fall. In 1914 a room full of German schoolboys, fresh faced and idealistic, are goaded by their schoolmaster to troop off to the 'glorious war'. With the fire and patriotism of youth they sign up. What follows is the moving story of a young 'unknown soldier' experiencing the horror and disillusionment of life in the trenches. Erich Maria Remarque (b. Erich Paul Remark 1898-1970), was a German novelist. His landmark novel 'All Quiet on the Western Front' about the German military experience of World War I, was an international bestseller which created a new literary genre, and was subsequently adapted into a film of the same name in 1930 directed by Lewis Milestone. It was subsequently adapted for television in 1979, starring Ernest Borgnine. During WWI, Remarque was conscripted into the German Imperial Army at the age of 18. In 1917, he was transferred to the Western Front, 2nd Company, Reserves, Field Depot of the 2nd Guards Reserve Division at Hem-Lenglet. On 26th June 1917 he was posted to the 15th Reserve Infantry Regiment and fought in the trenches between Torhout and Houthulst. On 31st July 1917 he was wounded by shell shrapnel in the left leg, right arm and neck, and after being medically evacuated from the field was repatriated to an army hospital in Germany where he spent the rest of the war recovering from his wounds, before being demobilized from the army. On 10th May 1933, at the initiative of the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Remarque's writing was publicly declared as 'unpatriotic' and was banned in Germany. Copies were removed from all libraries and restricted from being sold or published anywhere in the country. Germany was rapidly descending into a totalitarian society, leading to mass arrests of elements of the population of which the new governing order disapproved and Remarque fled Germany to live at his villa in Switzerland. Remarque's French background as well as his Catholic faith were also publicly attacked by the Nazis. They continued to decry his writings in his absence, proclaiming that anyone who would change the spelling of his name from the German 'Remark' to the French 'Remarque' could not be a true German. The Nazis further made the false claim that Remarque had not seen active service during World War I. In 1938, Remarque's German citizenship was revoked. In 1939, he and his ex-wife were remarried to prevent her repatriation to Germany. Just before the outbreak of World War II in Europe, they left Porto Ronco, Switzerland for the United States. They became naturalised citizens of the United States in 1947. Arthur Wesley Wheen MM & Two Bars (1897-1971), was an Australian soldier, translator and museum librarian, best known for translating Remarque's work. An exceptionally scarce book in this early impression.
