There are many Jews who do not observe
the religion, who yet would like to
know a lot more about it. There are
non-Jews, too, who now and then grow
curious about the old Hebrew faith.
But the literature is so vast, it is
usually so scholarly in tone, and so
much of it is not in English, that
such readers are often at a stand, not
knowing where to begin. I offer this
volume as a beginning. --Herman Wouk,
This Is My God. SC, 345 pages. |

Herman Wouk has ranged in his
novels from the mighty narrative of The Caine Mutiny
and the warm, intimate humor of Marjorie Morningstar
to the global panorama of The Winds of War and War
and Remembrance. All these powers merge in this
major new work of nonfiction, The Will to Live On,
an illuminating account of the worldwide revolution
that has been sweeping over Jewry, set against a
swiftly reviewed background of history, tradition,
and sacred literature. |

Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of
World War II, which begins with
The Winds of War and continues in
War and Remembrance, stands as the
crowing 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. |
