Le feu (Journal d'une Escouade) by Henri Barbusse
"Le feu (Journal d'une Escouade)" by Henri Barbusse is a novel published in 1916, based on the author's own experiences as a volunteer soldier in World War I. Written after twenty-two months in the trenches, this Prix Goncourt winner follows a squad of diverse soldiers united by their desire to survive.

with wartime propaganda and its unflinching portrayal of combat's brutal reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
