Okay, I've wanted to read this for years, I saw some of the mini series in the 80's and my sister recommended it me in the late 80' or early 90's, plus I enjoy WWII historical fiction. Well, in my opinion it does not 'grab' you as other books do, it's just not very entertaining. I loved 'The Caine Mutiny,' and I really hoped this would be like that, and I was very disappointed. I will probably read 'War and Remembrance' just so I can say I read it, however, it might be another 30 years.
In my opinion, pass on this.

Masterful Historical Fiction
The Winds of War and its sequel, War and Remembrance, are perhaps the most comprehensive reflections on WWII in the fictional canon. Having read a wide range of fiction and non fiction on the war, I keep coming back, again and again, to these two novels--if "fiction reveals truths that reality obscures" then these novels serve as keystones to understanding the conflict. In truth, (and according to Wouk's preface to War and Remembrance), Winds of War is more the "prequel" to the masterwork that is War and Remembrance; I am on my sixth time through both books, and I have to admit I never tire of vicariously experiencing this world-wide conflict through the eyes of Victor "Pug" Henry, his sons, Warren and Byron, and the disenchanted and frustrated state department diplomat Leslie Slote. All of the characters are exquisitely drawn, and Wouk's depiction of FDR hits all the right notes.

Stands Test of Time
Still a great read and as timely as the day it was published.
