    Regular price $23.00
    Tax included.

    Presenting the desperate conflict of the First World War through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier. A memoir of astonishing power, savagery and ashen lyricism, Storm of Steel depicts Ernst Junger’s experience of combat on the front line – leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, and simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart.

    One of the greatest books to emerge from the catastrophe of the First World War, it illuminates like no other book not only the horrors but also the fascination of a war that made men keep fighting for four long years.

    "As though walking through a deep dream, I saw steel helmets approaching through the craters. They seemed to sprout from the fire-harrowed soil like some iron harvest."
