Book Reviews of War and Remembrance
Book Review: The "Gone with the wind" of WW2 concludes
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the concluding volume of Wouk's two-part account of WW2, told from the points of view of fictional characters who find themsleves swept up in the hurricane of history. Volume 2 is, if anything, better than "The Winds of War". Taken together, the two volumes are irresistible. I have commended them to friends and family, and found no dissenters when it comes to awarding them the highest of marks.
This is old-fashioned, narrative story-telling at its best and most informative. I have read quite a few histories of the war and of constituent battles thereof, and frankly find Wouk's 2,000 pages to be the most efficient, rounded and possibly thought provoking of anything on the subject. For example: could Hitler have won WW2 if he hadn't hated Jews? Was the diversion of materials and the loss of manpower which resulted from the "Final Solution" a crucial factor in Germany's loss of the war? This and dozens of other debates take place in the course of a page-turning narrative which anyone and everyone can and should enjoy.
Wouk may have fallen from fashion. On the basis of these two books, he deserves to be rediscovered.
