	Herman Wouk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Herman Wouk (May 27, 1915 —) is a bestselling American author with a number of notable novels to his credit, including The Caine Mutiny, The Winds of War, and War and Remembrance.
		Wouk joined the United States Navy and served in the Pacific Theater, an experience he later characterized as educational; "I learned about machinery, I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans." His first ship was the USS Zane, then he was second-in-command on the Southard.
		Wouk hired highly-qualified young historians to assist him with the research for his historical novels, so the history in them is highly accurate.

	Herman Wouk
		Herman Wouk was born in New York into a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia.
		Wouk promises to tackle all of the biggest subjects here: "the Holocaust, the reborn Jewish State, the prodigious yet precarious American diaspora, and the deepening religious schisms."

	The First Neoconservative
		Herman Wouk's best-selling novels (made into films and TV mini-series) such as The Winds of War (1971) and War and Remembrance (1978) brought an awareness of the Holocaust to tens of millions of Americans, making it seem an episode in U.S. history and a part of American historical experience.
		Wouk set the groundwork for a specifically Jewish-referenced conservatism -- a set of values and attitudes that privileged the existing institutions of society, particularly the military ones, and demonized the voices of critical opposition.
		Wouk was consciously writing in opposition to much of American literature of World Wars I and II that scathingly critiqued lofty official war aims and the brutal and self-serving conduct of many professional officers.

		Herman Wouk tells the story of a fictional USN family as the events leading up to America's entry into war cast them hither and yon.
		Artfully using characters that have a plausible reason to be in important locales for the war, Wouk combines the family's story with military analysis (by a fictitious German general) to give a complete story.
		The style in which Wouk writes is highly sophisticated and elegant, his expertise on the war and well developed literary skill evident throughout, yet he seems to be trying to disguise himself from his readers' as much as possible; also the narrative has a tendency to grow redundant and is amost completely humorless.
