Description: Ernst Jünger, one of twentieth-century Germany's most important and controversial writers, faithfully kept a journal during the Second World War in occupied Paris, on the eastern front, and in Germany until its defeat--writings that are of major historical and literary significance. These wartime journals appear here in English for the first time.
Review Quotes: [Jünger's] writings and insights have long earned him sage status in Germany. This, the first publication in English of his diaries from 1941-45, heightens his complexity but also makes him a more rounded figure.--Alex Colville "The Spectator"
