Ernst Juenger, the son of a wealthy chemist, ran away from home to join the Foreign Legion. His father dragged him back, but he returned to military service when he joined the German army on the outbreak of the First World War. Storm of Steel was Juenger's first book, published in 1920. Juenger died in 1998.
