This hardback book, titled "War and Remembrance," is a first edition by Herman Wouk.

“War and remembrance is a historical romance. The subject is World War II, the viewpoint American.

A prologue, the winds of war, published in 1971, set the historical frame for this work by picturing the events leading up to Pearl Harbor. This is a novel of America at war from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima

It is the main tale I had to tell. I naturally hope that some readers, even in this rushed age, will find the time for both novels, war and remembrance, is a story in itself, and can be read without the prologue.

The theme of both novels is single. The next words of Victor Henry’s commentary in the battle of LEYTE gulf give it plainly enough:

“Either war is finished or we are”

I have put this theme in the colors and motion of the fiction art so that “he who runs may read” and remember what happened in the worst world catastrophe. As to the history in both tales, I trust that knowing readers will find it has been presented responsibly and with care

these two linked novels to conclusion: that war is an old habit of thought, an old frame of mind, an old political technique, that must now pass as human sacrifice and human slavery have passed. I have faith that the human spirit will prove equal to the long heavy task of ending war. Against the pessimistic mood of our time, I think that the human spirit for all its dark side that I here portray,is in essence heroic. The adventures narrated in this romantic aim to show that essence in action.

The beginning of the end of war lies in remembrance.”
