About this listen

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

These multimillion-copy best sellers are stirringly read by Kevin Pariseau for their first appearance in downloadable audio.

Critic reviews

"Brilliant…. An outstanding novel and at the same time a great work of history…. Wouk has more than recaptured the period; he has given it life." (Henry Kissinger)
"Those who lived through World War II can most fully appreciate the resonances in this uncommonly readable book. But it is clearly meant – and recommended – for those who did not." ( Time)
"Moving, thrilling fiction…. Wouk is a magnificent storyteller." ( Boston Globe)

There are some books that are burnished forever in your heart and mind.. this is one of them, tears fill my eyes as I write these few words. It's predecessor Winds of War needs to be read/listened to first it endeavours to prepare you for what comes in War and Remembrance. Unforgettable.

Outstanding....

A good story but it would seem British contribution to WW2 was minimal . Churchill was not a major player and got in the way.

World War II flrom American perspective

What a great and massive book. Historically accurate and powerfully compelling. This and it's sister book, "Winds of war" give you an overview of the 2nd world war that few other novels cover. What a great writer Herman Wouk is.
