The Winds of War - Herman Wouk

Like no other masterpiece of historical fiction, Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II is the great novel of America's Greatest Generation.

Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events, as well as all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II, as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

The Winds of War and its sequel War and Remembrance stand as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers.

Reissued to coincide with a television mini-series, this is the first part of an epic about two American families whose lives are interwoven in a common cause which forms a saga of love and ambition set against the background of World War II. The second part is called "War and Remembrance".
