I’m in the process of reading Herman Wouk’s epic two-volume novel of World War II — The Winds of War (1971) and War and Remembrance (1978).
The books are amazingly detailed and full of history about World War II. At nearly 1000 pages each, I feel like I’ve been in a history class the entire time I’ve been reading them.
Absolutely fascinating. And I’m anxious to learn more about that time period…
On last night’s news, there was an amazing story about the discovery of a cereal box in a house in Tennessee that shows the goodness of people, from both America and Germany, during World War II.
Hundreds of letters stuffed inside the old cereal box recall the experiences of some of the tens of thousands of POWs who were sent to Tennessee during World War II. The letters show epic kindness and love of humanity during an extraordinary situation.
I should check these out. I love WWII stories. Did you get them on Kindle?
I have the first volume, The Winds of War, in paperback if you want it. I’m reading the sequel on my Kindle. My first Wouk book was The Caine Mutiny–fascinating character study!
What a heart-warming story!
I love how both the Germans and the Americans called each other family. 🙂

Now my OCD kicks in and I have to reply to your reply. So 🙂 🙂 !
