The only thing he fears is missing the action. Soon, however, the vaunted \"war to end all wars\" seems like a war that will never end--whether mired in the trenches or going over the top, Jean finds himself caught in the midst of an unimaginable, unceasing slaughter. After he is wounded, he returns from the front to discover a world where no one knows or wants to know any of this. Both the public and the authorities go on talking about heroes--and sending more men to their graves. But Jean refuses to keep silent. He will speak the forbidden word. He will tell them about fear. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Berger has called \u003ci\u003eFear\u003c\/i\u003e \"a book of the utmost urgency and relevance.\" A literary masterpiece, it is also an essential and unforgettable reckoning with the terrible war that gave birth to a century of war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2014 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/20\/2014 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/27\/2014 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gabriel Chevallier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124461732021,"sku":"9781590177167","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_91403907-b632-4984-af50-589b81e0e7e5.jpg?v=1694552561","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fear-a-novel-of-world-war-i-9781590177167","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
