Leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart, J nger keeps testing himself, braced for the death that will mark his failure. His account is ripe for rediscovery upon the centennial of the Battle of the Somme--a major set piece in \u003ci\u003eStorm of Steel\u003c\/i\u003e--and a bracing read for fans of \u003ci\u003eRedeployment \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAmerican Sniper.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
