About the Author:
Herman Wouk's acclaimed novels include the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Caine Mutiny; Marjorie Morningstar; Don't Stop the Carnival; Youngblood Hawke; The Winds of War; War and Remembrance; Inside, Outside; The Hope; and The Glory.
From AudioFile:
His nonfiction books include This Is My God and The Will to Live On: This Is Our Heritage.
This novel of truly epic proportion deals with the conflict and drama of an evolving post-WWII Israel. Theodore Bikel is an ideal choice for this narrative interpretation. Dealing with numerous characters, he never misses a beat, shifting easily from one accent to another. In one scene, this listener could well imagine sitting in on an impromptu conference held in David Ben-Gurion's bedroom. While military personnel make somber predictions, Mrs. Ben-Gurion frets over the health of Israel's founding father. Production and vocal quality are superb; however, this is a ponderous work, and the minds of all but Wouk's most devoted readers may wander while listening. D.R.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
