Write-Up Of Books The Winds of War (The Henry Family #1)

The death of Herman Wouk at age 103 in the Spring of 2019 made me think back on the multi-talented writers life and celebrated career. I ordered THE WINDS OF WAR, one of the authors key bestsellers that I remembered liking very much when I read it in the early 1970s. I wanted to see if the sweeping (885-page) realistic novel held up for me, and am happy to say it did. WINDS is set in the USA, the UK, Germany, Poland, the Soviet Union, and Italy, and begins in the Spring of 1939, when naval

I've just finished reading The winds of war for the second time, about 25 years after reading it the first time. I had never thought that I would re-read it -- it just seemed too long. It was not that I hadn't enjoyed reading it, but it seemed that once in a lifetime was enough.And then my wife bought the DVDs of the TV series based on the book, and we began watching it. In the first episode I was struck by the trouble that had gone into making it. It was not all shot on location, of course, and

The cover says.."Grand..Grandiose..Compelling" and I must agree wholeheartedly I just finished this huge classic wonderful piece of engrossing fiction based on the beginning of WWII history. It begins in 1939. Vicariously through a military family named the Henry's, we get more than a birds eye view of how things manifested. In this book, I swear, every page you feel as though you must have taken a trip back in time. I chose this book because I'm quite attracted to WWII fiction but I wanted to

This is a tough book to rate. Overall, I wish this had been required reading for discussion in some history class I took, but it is not a great novel. It is too long (we get it about the passport already!), and the whole extended Henry family soap opera is annoying (just let her go!), and the central plot device is preposterous--but not in a funny way: I mean if Pug Henry gets to meet every celebrity in the world, why not embrace the zaniness of this premise and have him travel around with the

This story, told through the eyes and lives of a Navy family, begins in 1939 and ends right after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Its certainly not a quick read. Its long, over 800 pages long. Reading it was tedious at times, especially all the details with war strategy and military plans, neither of which interest me much at all. However, Im so glad that I stuck with it. Its not great literature, but the story and portrayal of characters are what made it for me. I especially loved the

This is an incredibly enjoyable fictional read for those interested in WWII history and how it affected families in Europe and in the U.S. Perhaps the most unfavourable aspect of Wouk's tale, however, is how he places at least one member of the protagonist Henry family in the very center of practically every major milestone event of the war: the attack on Poland, the historic meeting between Roosevelt and Churchill at Placentia Bay, Pearl Harbor, and so on. In every case a family member is right

This is the first book to read, followed by War and Remembrance. I was a baby when WWII broke out and my Dad was a sailor who went to New Guinea. I wanted to know more about it than can be found in an ordinary history book. The author was true to facts and places, fleshing out the events with believable characters. I loved reading these two books for their facts and for the pure pleasure of reading really good books. I had visited Normandie in France, Poland, two of the death camps, Pearl
