Šrámek's diary is both informative and eyeopening. His grandson has done a masterful job putting it into a format accessible to a broad audience[1]. There are some issues with the text itself[2], including a few oddities that are probably mistranslation, some abrupt font-size changes, and more than a few spacing errors. But overall, Diary of a Prisoner in World War I is a must-read for any student or aficionado of twentieth-century history. No historian could have written a more poignant tale.
