Alain de Benoist has written an ideal introduction to Jünger’s long life and vast body of work. Benoist illuminates the central figures in Jünger’s works: the Soldier, the Worker, the Rebel, and the Anarch. Benoist devotes special attention to The Worker, as well as Jünger’s debts to Nietzsche and Spengler, his relationship to the German Conservative Revolutionary movement, and his dialogues with Heidegger, Drieu la Rochelle, and his brother Friedrich Georg Jünger.
