Ernst Jünger 1895–1998) was a decorated German soldier and author who became famous for his World War I memoir ‘Storm of Steel’, published in 1920, shortly after the end of the war. Based on the journal entries he wrote during his time in the trenches, the book describes World War I through the eyes of an ordinary soldier. The book begins with Jünger’s initial deployment in 1915 and ends with him being severely wounded in 1918. He writes about the raiding parties, defending the trenches against British incursions, and simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart. 'Storm of Steel' was a worldwide bestseller.
