false 42989 9 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. 3140292 1993 The Hope: A Novel total:243|5:77|4:96|3:55|2:13|1:2| 243 962 318 22 4 1 false false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Aug 27 18:18:38 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 18:18:38 -0700 2007

I don’t believe that this was as good as some of Wouk’s other novels. Or perhaps none of them are especially brilliant—merely interesting—and I am only realizing it now.
