Henri Barbusse

Henri Barbusse was a French novelist and political activist known for his anti-war novel 'Le Feu' (Under Fire), which depicted the horrors of World War I.

"The love we have for our native land would be good and praiseworthy if it did not degenerate, as we see it does everywhere, into vanity, the spirit of predominance, acquisitiveness, hate, envy, nationalism, and militarism."
