"Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" by Herman Wouk. Written in the 1970s, from the perspective of a Jewish-American family. He also earlier wrote Pulitzer-Prize-winning "The Caine Mutiny" in 1951, it was a good book but not as enjoyable as the other two.
He fought in the Pacific Theater during WWII and so lived it.
(I also remember his 1948 "City Boy" being a hilarious tale of a Jewish kid growing up in NYC/The Bronx.)
- AlbertCory 3y agoI cited Wouk's books elsewhere in this thread. Since it's fiction, he has the opportunity to show what people thought then without benefit of hindsight. And he takes full advantage of it. Even the fictional German general Armin von Roon gets plenty of space to give the German perspective.
