Herman Wouk, The Winds of War

This is my introductory excerpt from Wouk. I will try to restrain myself from posting segments involving fictional characters like this in the future, but some of his narrative about real events is concise and accurate so I will throw it into the mix. Note that the headline is dead on. - Homer

Nobody captured the true horror of the Holocaust better than Wouk, than he did in War and Remembrance.
