Based on his own experience of the Great War, Henri Barbusse's
novel is a powerful account of one of the greatest horrors mankind
has inflicted on itself. For the group of ordinary men in the
French Sixth Battalion, thrown together from all over France and
longing for home, war is simply a matter of survival, lightened
only by the arrival of their rations or a glimpse of a pretty girl
or a brief reprieve in the hospital. Reminiscent of classics like
Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and Remarque's "All Quiet on the
Western Front," "Under Fire" (originally published in French as "La
Feu") vividly evokes life in the trenches-the mud, stench, and
monotony of waiting while constantly fearing for one's life in an
infernal and seemingly eternal battlefield.
