More about the book

Focusing on the social and literary qualities of Herman Wouk's work, this comprehensive study highlights his deep engagement with American society during both war and peace. By positioning Wouk alongside literary giants like Cervantes and Dickens, the author, Arnold Beichman, reveals the strong plots and moral themes in Wouk's novels, featuring positive characters. The analysis includes eight novels, one play, and two moral tracts on Judaism, enriched by Wouk's personal papers and interviews, while a new introduction updates his contributions over the last two decades.
