Publisher Description
A masterpiece of historical fiction and "a journey of extraordinary riches" (New York Times Book Review), War and Remembrance stands as perhaps the great novel of America's "Greatest Generation."
These two classic works capture the tide of world events even as they unfold the compelling tale of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.
The multimillion-copy bestsellers that capture all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of the Second World War -- and that constitute Wouk's crowning achievement -- are available for the first time in trade paperback.
Customer Reviews
War and Remembrance
II just re-read this 2 book series after 30 years and it was great then and is better now. I am so disappointed that the book came to and end! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! The enjoyment was greatly enhanced by the ability to instantly reach out to the internet thru the I-pad and look up additional information about battles, ships, people and finally to look at maps and pictures of the events being described in the book.
Good book, shoddy conversion to iBook
Herman Wouk's "War and Remembrance" is a great book, a classic. But whoever scanned it into iBook format did a lousy job. There are numerous pink encoding error messages. Typos - no doubt a result of poor scanning - dot the manuscript. For example, the title of Chapter 14 reads "Zrandator'o aoreworb."
Where is quality control?
War and Remembrance
I especially liked reading this book on the iPad. It was much lighter than the original hardback books. I love the ability to look up words in the dictionary as well as people, places and events online. This contributed to my understanding and enjoyment of this book. There were numerous typos throughout the book, but none so bad that they posed a significant distraction.
