All quiet on the Western Front

[GANNON <GANNON@wantree.com.au>]

Hi all,

My name is Lisa Gannon and I am a teacher librarian at a secondary school
in Perth, Western Australia.

I have been at my new school for 4 days, on Friday afternoon one of the
English teachers asked me to introduce research materials to his Yr 11
class (15 year olds) for the novel All quiet on the Western Front. This is
to be done first thing on Monday morning. I am embarrassed to admit that I
have never read this novel. The Web sites that should give me an idea of
the plot cannot be found. The only info I can get is from the movie and I
don't know how close to the book it was. (You guessed it, I haven't seen
the movie either)

I've been sitting at the computer now for a couple of hours and I am
getting desperate. If anyone could give me a rough outline of the plot,
where it was set etc I will be grateful.

Also any Web sites regarding WW1, conditions at the front line, weapons
used would be great. I can do all the books in the morning but I'm running
out of time for the Web sites.

Thanks in anticipation
