Synopsis: This book is a sequel to The Winds of War and it continues to follow the Henry family throughout World War II. Victor "Pug" Henry is an American Naval Officer who is stationed in the Pacific, London, Washington DC and Moscow throughout the book. He has one son in the Naval Air Force (with his wife in Pearl Harbor), another son in submarines (with his Jewish wife stuck in Axis Italy) and a daughter working for a well-known radio personality.
My Review: What really sets this book apart is that while the war is a major part of the book, it is not what the book is about. The book really shines in the way that it highlights how the War impacted families and individuals and crept into their romances and hearts.
