About the book

Henri Barbusse's Under Fire follows a squad of French soldiers through the exhaustion, waiting and violence of the First World War. Mud, bombardment, makeshift shelter and conversations among the men replace distant images of military glory with the material conditions of the trenches. Drawing on his own service, Barbusse gives collective experience as much importance as individual action. This influential war novel combines a harsh account of combat with an insistence on the ordinary lives caught inside it, asking what remains of familiar ideals when survival becomes a daily task.
