520    "Fear is a classic of war literature, a book to place on 
       the shelf with Storm of Steel, A Farewell to Arms, and 
       Going After Cacciato. Jean Dartemont, the hero of Gabriel 
       Chevallier's autobiographical novel, enters what was not 
       yet known as World War I in 1915, when it was just 
       beginning to be clear that a war that all the combatants 
       were initially confident would move swiftly to a 
       conclusion was instead frozen murderously in place. After 
       enduring the horrors of the trenches and the deadly 
       leagues of no-man's-land stretching beyond them, Jean is 
       wounded and hospitalized. Away from the front, he 
       confronts the relentless blindness of the authorities and 
       much of the general public to the hideous realities of 
       modern, mechanized combat. Jean decides he must resist. 
       How? By telling the simple truth. Urged to encourage new 
       recruits with tales of derring-do service, Jean does not 
       mince words. What did he do on the battlefield? He 
       responds like a man: "I was afraid." Acclaimed as "the 
       most beautiful book ever written on the tragic events that
       blood-stained Europe" for five years, prosecuted on first 
       publication as an act of sedition, Fear appears for the 
       first time in the United States in Malcolm Imrie's poetic 
       and prizewinning translation on the hundredth anniversary 
       of the outbreak of World War I, the conflict with which 
       the twentieth century came into its own. Chevallier's 
       masterpiece remains, in the words of John Berger, "a book 
       of the utmost urgency and relevance.""--|cProvided by
