The War Diary of a Square Peg (1920)

The War Diary of a Square Peg is a book written by Maximilian August Mugge and published in 1920. The book is a memoir of Mugge's experiences during World War I, where he served as a German soldier. The author describes his training, his time on the front lines, and his interactions with fellow soldiers and officers. Mugge's perspective is unique in that he was not a typical soldier, but rather a self-described ""square peg"" who struggled to fit in with the military culture. This theme of feeling like an outsider runs throughout the book, as Mugge reflects on his own identity and the role of the individual in war. The War Diary of a Square Peg is a poignant and introspective account of one man's experience in the chaos of war.With A Dictionary Of War Words.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
