Storm of Steel
Translated with an Introduction by
Michael Hofmann
Winner of the Oxford Weidenfeld Translation
Prize, 2004
A young, tough German soldier in the
First World War, Jünger led raiding
parties, defended trenches against
murderous British incursions, and
endured as shells tore his comrades apart.
This memoir of astonishing power and
savagery illuminates not only the horrors
but also the fascination of total war seen
through the eyes of an ordinary soldier.
