I'm writing a project on slaughterhouse five, specifically the critique of heroism and anti-war themes in the book. I want the angle to be that the book is critical of the patriotical romanticization of war and the idea of "war-heroes", that there sometimes is in American culture.
I would like to draw comparison to an American literary work of art (short story/novel) that has a very patriological and romanticized view on soldiers and war, so I can compare the way the two authors narrate war. It would be even better if the literature is concerning world war 2 like Slaughterhouse Five. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance:)
