Negative Positive
Title: Outstanding WWII novel
Review: This is the best historical novel I have read on WWII. A majority of the information is historical fact and Herman Wouk does a masterful job of weaving fictional characters into the story.The only negative is the lack of information on Japanese atrocities.Mr. Wouk provides accurate information on the allied firebombings that killed thousands of Japanese but fails to mention the thousands of Americans, Phillipinos, Chinese, British and other allied soldiers and civilians that the Japanese murdered in POW camps and in countries they invaded.The subject of Japanese atrocities is never mentioned in the book, a small shortcoming to an otherwise superb historical novel.
