The Storm Of Steel

Ernst Jünger's 'The Storm of Steel' — the original 1929 English translation of the classic German WWI memoir. An unflinching first-hand account of trench warfare on the Western Front from the perspective of a young German officer. 19 chapters covering Orainville, Les Eparges, the Somme Offensive, Guillemont, Langemarck, Cambrai, and the final offensives of 1918. A masterpiece of war literature that balances the brutality of combat with a complex, unsentimental patriotism.
