A black, with a hint of dark blue coloured hardback book, with silver coloured titles running along the spine. Comes with a lovely, not price clipped, dust jacket. This book is in really nice, clean condition and as its a used book, normal wear, marks and tear apply consistent with use and age. However the book looks like its hardly been used or read. 288 pages all intact and nice tight binding. First published in Great Britain in 2003, formerly a best seller book in Germany shortly after the war, now translated by Michael Hofmann. set in 10.5/14 pt PostScript Linotype Sabon, Typeset by Rowland PhotoTypesetting Ltd Bury St. Edmunds. Printed in England by Clays Ltd, St. Ives. Storm of Steel is one of the greatest works to emerge from the catastrophe of the First World War. A memoir of astonishing power, savagery and ashen lyricism, it illuminates like no other book not only the horrors but also the fascination of total war, presented through the eyes of an ordinary German Soldier. Published shortly after the war's end, Storm of Steel was a world wide best seller and can now be rediscovered through Michael Hofmann's startling new translation. An account of the terrors of the Western Front and of the sickening allure that made men keep fighting on four long years, Storm of Steel has no equal.

Inhaltsangabe

STORM OF STEEL is a war story which glorifies the heroism of the soldiers, while unflinchingly describing the brutality and horror of trench warfare. Written in a startlingly brilliant and starkly original style, this book challenges our perceptions of the war through its portrayal of the experience of ordinary German soldiers. STORM OF STEEL has a reasonable claim to be one of the 20th century's greatest--and most disturbing--memoirs.
