Book Reviews of The Winds of War
Book Review: "A Thriller"
Summary: 5 Stars
Many lives would not be the same if it was not for the Henry family. This story is a tale of love, action and adventure. This combination is what makes a good book. The story takes place in 1939, during the beginning of World War 2. It follows the Henry family. A family who was brought up on the Navy. The main character Victor "Pug" Henry a Naval attache to Berlin finds himself caught in the backyard of what will soon be one of the world's biggest leader and maniac. This of course is Adolf Hitler. In fact Victor meets Hitler, Stalin and Churchill and lets not forget he and Franklin D. Roosevelt are very good friends. While Victor is in diplomacy we find his youngest son Byron running for his life in Warsaw, Poland with love interest Natalie Jastrow the niece of the famous author Aaron Jastrow, who wrote A Jew's Jesus. While half of the family is over in the pit of things the other half is over on the home front. Eldest son Warren is training to become a flight aviator and sister working for a famous t.v. show host in New York. As you can see this family can be no more farther a part, but really this war will soon bring them together. This story begins with the invasion of Poland and goes all the way to the attack on Pearl Harbor. A thriller `till the end. The Winds of War is a winner.I really enjoyed this book. It was probably one of the greatest books that I have ever read. It was a big accomplishment being that it was over 1000 pages. Even though it was a slow read and even a little bit hard to understand at time it still did no let me put it down. It is real easy to get into it because there is so much to think about that it is. All in all this was a really great book!
