On Junger-
Throughout his whole life he had experimented with drugs such as ether, cocaine, and hashish; and later in life he used mescaline and LSD. These experiments were recorded comprehensively in Annäherungen (1970, "Approaches"). The novel Besuch auf Godenholm (1952, "Visit to Godenholm") is clearly influenced by his early experiments with mescaline and LSD. He met several times with LSD inventor Albert Hofmann and they took LSD together. Hofmann's memoir LSD, My Problem Child describes some of these meetings.

In 1970, at age 75, Junger discomfited his conservative fans by publishing a book detailing his lifelong experiments with drugs of all kinds, including his LSD trips in the 1950s with Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of the hallucinogen. It is Junger's reputation as an unpredictable literary adventurer that may account for his surprising popularity in France, where more than 40 of his books have been translated, and where he is widely regarded as an "action intellectual" in the Malraux vein. In 1985 Junger was invited to join French president Francois Mitterrand and German chancellor Helmut Kohl in Verdun for ceremonies honoring the dead of World War I; Mitterrand subsequently asked him to breakfast at the Elysee palace. In the last decade, debates over Junger's status as an unrepentant "reactionary modernist" have raged constantly in the German press, climaxing recently with a full-scale attack on his work in the country's most prominent newsweekly, Der Spiegel.

He also refused Hitler's offers of friendship in the '20's and refused membership in the Nazi party.
All in all he doesn't sound like the most credible historical writer in the world.
