In Steel Storms

"In Steel Storms" is one of the most famous works about World War I, combining elements of fiction, philosophy, and memoir.
The book originated from the diary entries that Jünger kept throughout the war. Filled not only with facts presented with the author's characteristic mathematical precision but also with impressions that left an indelible mark on memory, it became his personal history of the war. As Jünger himself wrote: "I do not aim to paint heroes; I want to tell not how it could have been, but how it was in reality."
The book has undergone 14 reprints, with the text each time undergoing numerous revisions that reflected the author's changing historical and philosophical views over the years, rethinking the experience of war.
