Ebook About Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with THE WINDS OF WAR and continues in WAR AND REMEMBRANCE, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - the drama, the romance, the heroism and the tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very centre of the maelstrom.Book The Winds of War (Wwii Book 1) Review :
Weighing in at 885 pages The Winds of War is epic in every sense of the word. As I worked through those pages sometimes it felt like it was never going to end, and I never wanted it to. The story follows the Henry family through the years immediately before the start of the second world war through the attack on Pearl Harbor. Wouk covers a lot of ground and he manages this by the clever device of following the family patriarch, Victor “Pug” Henry, through the ups and downs of his naval career.The book could easily have taken on a Forest Gump type quality, making it seem like the hapless Pug just fell into these situations that allowed the reader to be where all the action was in following the trajectory of the war. Fortunately, Pug Henry is a likeable and competent character. Indeed, his stalwart approach to his life and to his work make him both charming and an eminently reliable pivot for the story. Pug manages to personally meet all of the major political figures of the war – Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin and even Mussolini – but even his wife does not know this. He is modest and circumspect and clever. This might have all become a bit too neat, so Wouk also follows the Henry children, who are all young adults in this time period to give us a more complete picture of the war. In this way, Wouk captures the massive social upheaval and the mood of the American public during the war and also allows us to visit those theatres of action that Pug cannot reasonably be.The book is made epic, engaging and heartfelt by Wouk’s weaving of world historical events into the personal lives of the Henry family members. The scope and impact of the war is brought home to the reader through the story of each of the Henrys. Wouk, who is remarkably still alive at 102, manages to cover all of the major events of the war, several battles, and the home front. It is an amazing feat in terms of historical coverage, but also in how much he made me care for these fictional characters. It truly was a different time. Men and women behaved differently than they do now. Standards and expectations were different and it was fascinating to observe. Just as it was fascinating to observe the way the war changed these things.I would have been more than a little sad when I got to the end, except that the even longer sequel, “War and Remembrance” awaited me. The protagonist is a 50ish year old career naval officer who is sent to Berlin prior to WWII. He is an astute observer and is knowledgeable about war strategy. He writes a brief predicting Stalin and Hitler will become allies which turns out to be what happened (at least prior to WWII). The brief is read by Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) who is impressed and begins to use him as an independent observer to provide him a sense of what things are like in Germany and Europe. He ends up going to London during the bombing of London and Russia during WWII during the time when the Germans were advancing on Moscow. Also, mixed in with the story is a review of military strategy by a German Officer who provides his view on world events of the time. Mixed in with what is going on with him, which includes a very tempting romance with a younger woman, are the lives of his two sons, one of whom marries a feisty Jewish Girl who gets stuck behind enemy lines, and the other who is in Pearl Harbor at the time of its bombing by Japan.All in all I enjoyed the book thoroughly. I couldn’t wait to read it each night, and also during periods of rain while on our trip. It is long, almost 900 pages, but very absorbing. Also, I got some insight into how military planners think about war strategy as well as some history of what happened before and during WWII in terms of which countries were invaded, how the US viewed the war prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and many other aspects of life at that time. I highly recommend it.
