About this book

Storm of Steel (In Stahlgewittern) is the memoir of the German officer Ernst Jünger about his service on the Western Front in the First World War, from December 1914 to August 1918. It first appeared in 1920 as a privately printed book and was revised several times over the following years.

It is a graphic and direct account of trench warfare, and Jünger, who was wounded several times, describes combat without much comment on its causes or morality. The book has been read both as a work of war literature and as a controversial text, because critics have seen it as either morally ambivalent or even in favour of war.

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.
