About the author

Ernst Jünger

Storm of Steel is Jünger's diary of the Western Front, where he was wounded fourteen times and given the Pour le Merite, and it is unusual for describing the war without either horror or regret, as an intensity worth having lived. That made him a hero to the German right in the twenties, and he wrote nationalist essays attacking the Weimar republic.
