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.
