In 1915, Jean Dartemont heads off to the fantastic War, an eager conscript. The thing he fears is missing the action. Soon, however, the vaunted "war to get rid of all wars" seems just like a war that will never end: whether mired in the trenches or going over the top, Jean discovers himself caught in the midst of an unimaginable, unceasing slaughter. After he is wounded, he profits from leading to find a world where no one knows or desires to know any of this. Both general public and the government bodies go on talking about heroes - and mailing more men to their graves. But Jean refuses to keep silent. He'll speak the forbidden word. He will tell them about fear. John Berger has called Fear "a booklet of the utmost urgency and relevance." A literary masterpiece, it is also an important and unforgettable reckoning with the dreadful war that gave birth to a hundred years of war.
