I was recently asked if someone knew where Ernst Jünger’s “The Peace” could be had in English – though one of his more important books with an excellent translation into English by Scott Hood, it has been out of print for many decades. It turned out to be a great question, because I consequently found this DOWNLOADABLE SCAN. Note that this book would be a most timely read...
