Juenger's Attitude toward War

["John B. Morgan" <jbmorgan@umich.edu>]

As I'm familiar with Juenger primarily through his fiction, I am wondering
how Juenger's attitude toward war has changed over the last 80 years. In
early books like "Storm of Steel" and "Copse 125" he celebrates war as a
life-intensifying experience, seeing what many other writers described as
the horrors of war as being beautiful in their own unique way. But I can't
believe that a century of reflection and experience, his first-hand
experience of the Second World War, the loss of his son in combat, and the
advent of nuclear and biological weapons haven't changed his viewpoint in
some way. Would anyone on the list be willing to offer a brief summary of
Juenger's attitudes toward war over the years? Is such even feasible?
