«Storm of Steel» is Ernst Jünger's autobiographical account of the First World War, in paperback from Penguin Classics (320 pages, in English).
During the First World War, Ernst Jünger fought as a German officer on the Western Front and recorded what he experienced: grenade attacks, raids into no man's land, trench defence and the constant bombardment that decimated his comrades. The account neither idealises nor condemns war; it shows its brutality and its allure, and how adrenaline and camaraderie coexisted with horror and death.
Originally published in German in 1920, it was Jünger's first book; this English edition is Michael Hofmann's translation and belongs to Penguin Modern Classics.
For readers of military history and First World War memoirs, especially those seeking the testimony of a German combatant.
Ernst Jünger was a German author, soldier, philosopher, and entomologist who became publicly known for his World War I memoir Storm of Steel. A prolific writer of over forty books, Jünger wrote particularly in the furtherance of conservatism and against what he perceived as the spiritual oppression of man.
