Book Review: Forget the TV series, read the book...
Summary: 5 Stars
Herman Wouk seems to have fallen out of favour lately, but earlier in his writing career, he produced some stunning novels. As in his Pulitzer Prize winning "Caine Mutiny", Wouk works best when he takes small characters and sweeps them up into massive situations. The Henrys, an all-American naval family, and the Jastrows, Jewish intellectuals, find themselves caught up in the spectre of Hitler's relentless advance across Europe, and the apathy of the American nation to act. "The Winds of War" breaks off with the attack on Pearl Harbour, with "War and Remembrance" concluding the horrifying story of WWII, taking in the concentration camps, war in the Pacific and the nuclear attacks on Japan. An incredible, heart rending achievement that could never have been adequately recreated on the small screen.
