“War and Remembrance is a stirring work of fiction and fact…. With its prologue The Winds of War (1971), War and Remembrance is for Herman Wouk the work of a lifetime… a journey of extraordinary emotional riches” (New York Times). “No writer has worked harder at the amassing of the historical facts about World War II. For that matter, no writer has ever written with such authority about the trials of the life of the writer himself” (Burgess, 99 Novels, 56).
