'Ludwig Renn' was the name of the protagonist in War, for which the author eschewed his own noble title and name in response to his increasing communist sympathies and involvement. Largely reflecting on autobiographical themes, the novel depicts the life of an ordinary soldier in the First World War, covering the battles of Marne, the Somme and Champagne 1917-18. The sequel, After War, helped build Renn's reputation as the most important German communist writer of the inter-war period.
