✦ Synopsis

\n\n This explosive story sets the\nhistorical stage for Herman Wouk’s novel, War and Remembrance. \n\n In this massive, best-selling novel\n– over one year on national best-seller lists – Pulitzer Prize winner Herman\nWouk re-creates two of the most dramatic years of the twentieth century, taking\nthe entire planet for his stage.  Form Washington,\nD.C., to the capitals of Europe to Pearl Harbor, The Winds of War pulses\nwith the life of those great and terrible days – it’s huge cast of characters\nincluding Hitler, Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and ordinary men and women like\nthe Henrys, an American naval family whose deeds were never recorded in the\nannals of history. \n\n “Compulsively Readable” – Saturday\nReview \n\n “Crammed with climactic episodes of\nthe war . . . structured along broad, sweeping lines, impelled by historical\nsequences and charged with real-life figures, and with the whole world as\nsetting, the novel tells the intimate story of and American family – a Navy\nfamily – caught up in the vortex of world conflict. . . . World history comes\nto life at a personal, eyewitness level. \nIt takes on a behind-the-scenes quality. \nAt the same time we become deeply interested in all the doings of the\nHenry clan.” – Philidelphia Inquirer \n\n “First-rate storytelling. . . . It\nsucceeds most admirably in that always tricky business of combining true\nhistory with fiction, and actual characters with fictional ones.” – The New\nYork Times \n\n   \n\n
