Compiled from diaries he had written on the front from 1914-1915,&completed in the hospital while recovering from injuries, Barbusse published his work in both serial & novel forms in late 1916. By the end of the war-a world-wide bestseller, having sold over a quarter of a million copies.Received mixed reviews at first because of Barbusse's gritty & brutal realism, which some war critics saw as validation for their protests,others felt it fictionalized & exaggerated the war. Since then,"Under Fire" has been ranked with such classics as "A Farewell to Arms" & "All Quiet on the Western Front"- most powerful, realistic portrayals of the horrors of war. -If this is a gift please indicate & give me additional information so I can expedite-not include pricing on shipping information/wrapped it-free- I actually hand enter & research every book listed, no scanner no generic description..Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa shipped through United States Post-Los Angeles.Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa- Under Fire Authors Henri Barbusse, Fitzwater Wray Translated by Fitzwater Wray Publisher Digireads.com, 2010 ISBN 1420937731, 9781420937732 -186 pages Subjects Fiction ' General ww1- Ablain-Saint-Nazaire- bayonet--Biquet Boche- Cocon -trench corner-Croix de Guerre -Eudore Eudoxie-Fouillade -Labri-Marthereau-Mesnil-Pepin--poilus--Poterloo-Barque-Paradis says Volpatte- Souchez- Under Fire PB Blue MK 22 fiction bib 2698
