Diary I: 1941-1943 and Diary II 1943 -1945

COMPLETE FRENCH ORIGINAL EDITION IN TWO VOLUMES 

 "The War Diary by Ernst Jünger is without doubt the most convincing and honest testimony to the extreme difficulty an individual has in maintaining his integrity and his standards of truth and morality in a world where truth and morality no longer have any visible expression. Despite the undeniable influence of Jünger's earlier writings on certain members of the Nazi intelligentsia, he himself was an active anti-Nazi from beginning to end, and his conduct proves that the notion of honour, somewhat antiquated but once familiar to Prussian officers, was more than sufficient for individual resistance." Hannah Arendt (1950)

(To General Michel Bouvard on the occasion of his visit to his headquarters in Lahr.

Ernst Jünger

Robert Kanter and Jules Roy were hosted by General Bouvard in 1951 to present the results of a study to the soldiers at the Lahr base. Robert Kanter, in As far as the eye can see, is a short portrait of General Michel Bouvard, who led the 1st Air Division between 1951 and 1952: "General Michel Bouvard was an excellent man of radiant goodness. I believe that after playing an important role in the liberation of the Marseilles region, he had a career in Germany, Dakar and at the École Militaire before slowly dying of a serious illness. His fundamental goodness, combined with religious ideas of a somewhat vague humanitarianism that he drew from the teachings of Krisnamurti, sometimes led him to somewhat utopian views. "Already during the war he thought he was Joan of Arc". said Jules Roy".
