I’m very excited about the release of this book by Herman Wouk on January 5th. Books such as “Marjorie Morningstar”, “Youngblood Hawke”, “Winds of War” and “War and Remembrance” will always have a special place in my heart.

Well I was still in secondary school when I read this, but I imagine you'd have to carry extraordinary respect for military protocol if you're going to be horrified and confused by one mutiny.

Thought I would hate this book, but after a few pages I was so into it, and cheering for the characters. Now I hope they make another Moses movie, because the DeMille one could use an update....

When I started this, I planned on reading it this year then waiting a couple years and reading War and Remembrance. Instead, I just bought the second book and I'm starting it immediately. Wouk is a great storyteller. He has an amazing grasp on WWII and is easy to read and understand. His characters ...

If a person should somehow not know anything about America's path to involvement in World War II, there are much worse ways to learn about it than by reading this epic historical novel.
