Young, tough, patriotic, but also disturbingly self-aware, Jünger exulted in the Great War, which he saw not just as a great national conflict but—more importantly—as a unique personal struggle. Leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart, Jünger kept testing himself, braced for the death that will mark his failure. Published shortly after the war’s end, \u003cb\u003eStorm of Steel\u003c\/b\u003e was a worldwide bestseller and can now be rediscovered through Michael Hofmann’s brilliant new translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
