false <![CDATA[The Glory: A Novel]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169961146m/42987.jpg 42987 6 Like no other novelist at work today, Herman Wouk has managed to capture the sweep of history in novels rich in character and alive with drama. In The Hope, which opens in 1948 and culminates in the miraculous triumph of 1967s Six-Day War, Wouk plunges the reader into the story of a nation struggling for its birth and then its survival. As the tale resumes in The Glory, Wouk portrays the young nation once again pushed to the brink of annihilationand sets the stage for todays ongoing struggle for peace. Taking us from the Sinai to the Jerusalem, from dust-choking battles to the Entebbe raid, from Camp David to the inner lives of such historical figures as Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and Anwar Sadat, these extraordinary novels have the authenticity and authority of Wouks finest fictionand together strike a resounding chord of hope for all humanity. The first trade paperback editions of The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, Wouks epic novels of World War II, were recently released by Back Bay Books. 2772934 1994 The Glory: A Novel total:174|5:64|4:63|3:39|2:6|1:2| 174 703 245 8 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 22:48:45 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 22:51:12 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 17:37:27 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 09:21:48 -0800 2008 the hope and the glory were fun historical reads for me. after nearly 1400 pages between them, these characters will stay with me for a while - both the historical and the fictitious.
