Horror Book Description: With every display of courage, a shrill cry rises from the depths for those who want to hear it: I'm afraid, we're afraid! Twenty-year-old Jean Dartemont has decided to join the army to fight on the front, because he does not want to stay away from this "adventure" that everyone talks about. Those who close their eyes to the truth and perhaps have no other choice; This is a kind of adventure for the society that clings to the denialism of fancy words amid the deafening noise of tom-toms; It is named after the gentlemen sitting behind heavy tables. However, the truth is obvious in all its horror: "The war that will end all wars" is a relentless massacre, an ordeal that seems to never end. The front becomes an ever-expanding cemetery, and while the people and the statesmen boast about their heroes, Jean shows a different daring than expected from him and becomes almost the only person who expresses that forbidden feeling: I'm afraid, we're afraid! Gabriel Chevallier's antimilitarist novel Fear, which tells the destructive underbelly of war, as John Berger stated in his foreword: "This is a book, but without pages. What does it consist of? A chorus of voices; a chorus of anger, pity and deferred hopes that fall on people like an avalanche." (From the Promotional Bulletin)
