The Winds of War by Herman Wouk


A much better book than I expected. A truly modern epic. It deals with anti-semitism in a very understated but absolutely chilling way. All racism is horrible and indefensible but some racism is ignorance-based and some racism is pure hate. I will say no more about that lest I appear to at all defend any racism whatsoever, which I do not.

I think it is very accurate historically and have a whole list of notes I want to investigate further. Plan to read the sequel and might dabble in the TV miniseries for fun.
