Young, tough, patriotic, but also disturbingly self-aware, J nger 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, J nger 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
