Paul Fussell fue un historiador cultural y literario estadounidense, cuyas obras abarcaban una variedad de temas, desde estudios académicos sobre la literatura inglesa del siglo XVIII hasta comentarios sobre el sistema de clases de Estados Unidos. Es mejor conocido por sus escritos sobre la Primera y Segunda Guerra Mundial, profundamente informados por sus propias experiencias como oficial de infantería en Europa. La prosa de Fussell se caracteriza por su agudo intelecto, empleando a menudo la ironía y una mirada aguda a las absurdidades del comportamiento humano y las estructuras sociales. Su legado literario reside en su habilidad única para iluminar la condición humana a través de exámenes críticos de la cultura y la historia.
