How was steel made? With whose help did Paul write that it was born of a storm? In his book How Steel Was Tempered, Paul wrote that the birth of the storm was completed with the help of his classmate, Kaganovich Pasternak of the Soviet Union. Pasternak was one of the authors of How Steel Was Tempered. After seeing Paul's work, he was very appreciative and provided help to allow Paul to have the opportunity to integrate his own experiences and stories into the novel.
