This book, written during and after World War One, offers a raucous, lowbrow but very funny humor as Hašek pokes fun at the Austrian military. His comments, however, offer a broader swath as they certainly apply to many many wars and the pointlessness and futility, even the idiocy of the entire process. I laughed out loud all the way through. Švejk is a masterpiece, both the character and the book. And the accompanying drawings are wonderful as well, even if they may not depict Švejk in the way Hašek saw him. Highly recommended.
