After finishing The Winds of War I tried very hard to take a break from the Henry family and to save the rest of the story for later. I lasted a week and I was back into their lives in this even longer second book. I had come to know and love these characters and I simply needed to know what happened to them all.I did learn the fates of all the family members and a few more besides. I also learned that Wouk did a tremendous amount of research for this book, just as he did with the first in theI read these back in the 80s at the same time a friend of mine did. She loved them and sort of aimed me at them (we both liked Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth and a few other authors). I can't say I liked these as much as she did.This duology concentrated more heavily (so heavily) on the romances and love lives of the characters in these books that I was hardily sick of them by the time I finished. The books basically became one long extended soap opera so far as I was concerned. The actions of
Get the hell out of Italy, Natalie!

I've nothing much to say about this beyond the fact that I thought it was superb.Edit: Okay Charles, you win; I really should have said more about this, given how much I enjoyed it And not to mention how much time I spent in its company - make no mistake, this was a beast of a novel. Pair it up with it predecessor, The Winds of War, and you're looking at a paperback total number of pages a gnat's ball-hair shy of 2,500.So, then, what to say about it? Well, it covers the fortunes of the Henry
I never wanted this book to end. I actually read several books in between while reading it, which I never do, so that I could extend the length of the book.

If you like to read about history and WWII, I highly recommend the the series. First book is The Winds of War.
This wasn't supposed to be my Holocaust spring. Who needs such a thing? But Bloodlands was on hold for months and months; I finally got it. War and Remembrance was on my cousin's bookshelf, an old mass-market paperback, 1400 pages of pure pulp that I'd promised to read if an easy opportunity arose. By the end my head was filled with battleships and cattle-cars and the sheer brutality of the 20th century; it left me feeling edgy and tearful.Herman Wouk is an interesting writer, mixing history,
Almost 3 weeks to finish this epic conclusion of Book 2. I just re-read my review on the Winds of War (Book 1) and I am repeating, fiction writing of the finest quality. I felt I had relived the war. What a wonderful strong fictional family chosen by this author to represent the horrors of World War 2. If you are an avid reader, please take the time to read these 2 books and thanks to those who encouraged me to read them back to back. I read these 2 books with almost 2000 pages in 5 weeks, that
