About this listen
Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.
These multimillion-copy best sellers are stirringly read by Kevin Pariseau for their first appearance in downloadable audio.

"Brilliant…. An outstanding novel and at the same time a great work of history…. Wouk has more than recaptured the period; he has given it life." (Henry Kissinger)
"Those who lived through World War II can most fully appreciate the resonances in this uncommonly readable book. But it is clearly meant – and recommended – for those who did not." ( Time)
"Moving, thrilling fiction…. Wouk is a magnificent storyteller." ( Boston Globe)
What makes this novel stand out is its meticulous research, character development, and emotional resonance. From the experiences of the central characters, like Pug Henry and his family, to the sweeping events of the war, Wouk strikes a perfect balance between personal stories and global history. His ability to capture the horrors of war, the complexities of human relationships, and the moral dilemmas faced by people in times of crisis is nothing short of remarkable.
The way Wouk handles the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust is particularly powerful. His detailed narration of the horrors faced by Jewish families, including those who find themselves trapped in the relentless grip of Nazi persecution, is deeply moving. Wouk does not shy away from depicting the brutality and dehumanization that took place in concentration camps, yet he also manages to highlight moments of quiet resistance and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable suffering. This unflinching portrayal of the Holocaust adds layers of emotional weight to the novel, making the reader reflect on the dark chapters of history and the price of humanity's survival.
The sheer scope of the novel may seem daunting, but Wouk's storytelling keeps the reader engaged, compelling you to turn the pages despite the heaviness of the subject matter. It’s a book that not only educates but also forces reflection on the nature of conflict, survival, and the human spirit.
