My criticism involves the end of the second book. The book gives something for everyone, vivid sea and submarine battles, political intrigue, romance, and the Holocaust is described very graphically. They also eliminate some of the suspense regarding the fate of a main character. I found these interesting as a counterpoint from the enemy perspective, although I often felt that the books could have done without them. I highly recommend them, although they get bogged down a bit, as the author interspersed a translation of a (fictional) German general's post-mortem of the war throughout both books. The story marches relatively chronologically from 1938 through 1945, with aftermath of Pearl Harbor being the cutoff for the first book. The books follow two families through the lead up to and through World War Two. Aside from a handful of fictional characters, the battled as they have been described are faithful to how they actually happened.
I don't believe I am spoiling anything in my description below:Īs someone who likes historical fiction, these books are very good, and meticulously researched. “We are thrilled to have our first project with UCP be something that exemplifies Fuzzy Door’s intentions that we are looking to take risks, think outside the box and find stories that are urgent and entertaining,” added Erica Huggins, President, Fuzzy Door.Unemployment during this pandemic has me cranking through some very large books. In my very first meeting with Dawn Olmstead, we connected over this project - I learned that she herself comes from a Naval family - and to bring it to fruition under her stewardship and that of her UCP team will be a perfect fit for all. I’ve been a devoted fan of Wouk’s WWII epic for decades, and its depiction of small-scale human endurance in the face of large-scale global upheaval has never been more relevant than it is today. Said MacFarlane: “I can’t think of a more exciting project with which to launch my creative partnership with UCP than Herman Wouk’s The Winds of War. MacFarlane left his longtime studio home at 20th Century Fox Television after more than two decades in January for a giant nine-figure television deal at NBCUniversal Content Studios. “I’m very excited about our partnership with Seth as he looks to expand his oeuvre in the next phase of his career.” This is an epic story of valor, perseverance, survival and family that will be retold through a current lens,” said Dawn Olmstead, President, UCP.
