War and Remembrance
- By Herman Wouk
Full Description
These two classic works capture the tide of world events even as they unfold the compelling tale of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom. The multimillion-copy bestsellers that capture all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of the Second World War -- and that constitute Wouk's crowning achievement -- are available for the first time in trade paperback.

"Brilliant....An outstanding novel and at the same time a great work of history.... Wouk has more than recaptured the period; he has given it life."
-Henry Kissinger
"Moving, thrilling fiction....Wouk is a magnificent storyteller."
-Boston Globe
"One of the great narratives of our time.... What is so extraordinary about this novel is the sense of authenticity which it conveys whether at the scene of great battles or eavesdropping on the dialogue of historic personages....Quite simply, I haven't read a novel in years full of so many moving episodes."
-Christian Science Monitor
"Those who lived through World War II can most fully appreciate the resonances in this uncommonly readable book. But it is clearly meantand recommendedfor those who did not."
