    A Terrific Novel! A Great Read!

    What a remarkable story. I read both the Winds of War and War and Remembrance. It was just fascinating. I didn't want it to end. You get lost in the story of the Henry family as they traverse all the events of WWII. There is romantic tension, adventure, thrills and more. The vivid descriptions of the concentration camps and what happened there made my hair stand up and saddened me very much. There was also a tremendous amount of factual information of real events that happened in WWII. So in that sense it was very educational. It was reminiscent of Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World without End in the way that it grabbed you and sucked you in to the story. I highly recommend both of these novels.

    Second Best War Novel (Series) Ever Written

    Don't ya just love novels that put fictional characters (people that seem as real as your next door neighbors) into the middle of great events you've read about in history books? I do, cause that's the closest the rest of us get to knowing what it'd be like if it really happened to us. This book and War And Rememberance do that.

    A stunning triumph

    Mr. Baker, the ''history fan who was bilked,'' must have been reading a different book. While ''The Winds of War'' certainly has its fair share of romantic plotlines, to claim that's all there is, and to refer to the analytical history sections as ''a few instances'' is to do this modern classic an enormous disservice. Herman Wouk has written the American equivalent of Tolstoy's epic ''War and Peace.'' Using the Henry and Jastrow families as a means to introduce his readers to broad subjects -- like the geopolitical situation on the eve of World War II, the battle tactics of the armies, and the cruelty of Nazi treatment of the Jews, which eventually morphed into the horrors of the Holocaust -- is positively ingenious. The segments of the book 'written' by the fictional German general Armin von Roon are perhaps Wouk's most incredible achievement in the novel, as he seamlessly slips into the voice of the opposing side. A definite must-read.

    excellent

    truly one of the greatest novels ever written. a story as rich in character and detail as it is in depth. it's blending of fictional characters with historical times, makes the reader believe they are there as well as understand that period in histoy. better than any history class.

    An epic novel of WWII

    Like most people who didn't experience the Great War firsthand, I was very curious about the heroism of those dark days. The Winds of War was a fantastic novel: it was quick-paced, offered insight into the minds of men like Hitler, Yamamoto, and Churchill and, shared the effects of the tragic times on a typical American family.

    a classic tale

    Herman Wouk makes me feel as if I am one of the family. He captures in my opinion the mindset of a military family. I love the reality of a family in love with each other and still falling prey to temptation. You must read this book, then read war and rememberance.

    Excellent Historical Perspective of WWII

    I have read both books over 50 times, I have actually worn out two sets of paperbacks and bought a third in addition to having it downloaded onto my e-book reader. Wouk not only provides an excellent account of the history but details which characters were real and which were part of his fiction. My high school aged daughter read this (a few years ago) and learned more facts and truth about WWII the she had in 4 years of 'history'. My Dad (a WW II vet) read it and really enjoyed it. I bought the entire TV miniseries on DVDs for both Winds of War and War and Rememberence.

    A reviewer

    Were it not for the few historical character profiles 'Hitler, Roosevelt, Churchill' & the few instances of analytical history, this is nothing more than a boring romantic novel. I was sorely disappointed. Captain Henry should either be the commander of the Star Ship Enterprise 'fantacy' or a garbage scow in New York harbor 'reality'. This is nothing more than a sappy bunch of crap disguised as history.

    A so-so war book

    I didn't think that this book was as great as everyone said it was. There have been a lot of stand out books and this was not one of them. Also the story seemed to just keep going and going, it was much too long and instead of all the small talk he should have just gotten to the point.
