“Ernst Jünger and Germany is a profound interpretation of Ernst
Jünger, offering a compelling analysis of this leading literary
figure who over the years has often been misinterpreted by
scholars, literary critics, and journalists. Readers will emerge
with a clear view of Jünger’s significance as one of the century’s
leading exponents of the Dionysian impulse married to modern
technology. No one can read this book without seeing Jünger in a
new light.”— Jay W. Baird, author of To Die for Germany
“By dint of his great age, intellect, cultural breadth, and
one-time proximity to supreme power, one could argue that Jünger is
the pre-eminent witness of Europe’s history in this century. Thomas
Nevin presents an extraordinary picture of an exceptional man and a
very important insight into the nature not only of German history
in the hundred years of Jünger’s lifetime but also the modern
world.”—Hugh Cecil, author of The Flower of Battle: How Britain
Wrote the Great War
