Sinopsis

One of the most powerful accounts of trench warfare from the WWI era, &ldquo,Under Fire&rdquo, recounts the experiences of the men of the French Sixth Battalion on the front lines after the German invasion. While a fictional narrative, &ldquo,Under Fire&rdquo, is based upon diaries Barbusse had written on the front from 1914-1915, and completed in the hospital while recovering from injuries. Barbusse published his work in both serial and book form in late 1916. By the end of the war it was a world-wide bestseller, having sold over a quarter of a million copies. The narrative received mixed reviews at first because of Barbusse&rsquo,s gritty and brutal realism, which some war critics saw as validation for their protests, while others felt it fictionalized and exaggerated the war. Since then, &ldquo,Under Fire&rdquo, has been ranked with such classics as &ldquo,A Farewell to Arms&rdquo, and &ldquo,All Quiet on the Western Front&rdquo, as one of the most powerful, realistic portrayals of the horrors of war. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
