I enjoyed reading about Victor Henry’s ascent to two-star admiral. That made reading this novel much more uncomfortable than perusing its predecessor.Īs in the book’s precursor the war’s impact on the Henry family played a key role in the overall narrative. While the sequel to The Winds of War took readers along the Henry family’s continuing journey, the ‘remembrance’ portion focused on the Holocaust.
This chilling paragraph serves as a good summation of Herman Wouk’s War and Remembrance. They are herdsmen, and we are cattle or they are soldier ants, and we are aphids. Orders do not seem merely to guide their actions orders, as it were, fill their souls, leaving no room for a human flicker in their faces or eyes.
