The Storm of Steel: Original 1929 Translation

About this book

One of the most powerful accounts of combat ever written, The Storm of Steel is Ernst Jünger's searing chronicle of his service as a German infantry officer on the Western Front during the First World War. Based on the 1929 translation that first brought Jünger's memoir to the English-speaking world, this edition preserves the clarity and force of the original work. From the blood and mud-churned trenches of Flanders to the shattered ruins of the Somme, Jünger records not only the horror and chaos of mechanized warfare, but also its strange and terrible beauty. Refusing both sentimentalism and apology, he offers a deeply personal witness to the existential furnace of total war that is unlike anything else in 20th-century literature.
