Title: A true painting of the era!
Review: Read this book for the second time, the first time being when it first came out in the 1970's. It reflects the era I grew up in like no other book I have read. The three Daniel Silva WWII based novels come close, but those were thrillers and not historical novels. Though some 1400 pages in length, which would scare off a lot of readers, I preceeded it by reading the prequel, The Winds of War at 800 pages. I still wanted more after they ended. The book is carefully researched, eye-opening in many aspects of WWII not normally written about in novels. This is especially true of our Russian allies and The Land-Lease program. Eloquently written and politically revealing on all fronts of the war - U.S. Britain, Russian, Germany, Italan and Japan. Wouk present a way of putting it altogether as to show how acts in the Pacific affected those in Europe, and visa versa.
