The Glory
by Herman Wouk
Review this book!
Herman Wouk's "The Hope" told the war-torn story of Israel's first years up to the Six-Day War. This gripping sequel carries the tale forward to its climax in the heart-stopping turnaround battle of the Yom Kippur War, and the dawn of peace. "The Glory" brings on as combatants the second generation of the military families introduced in "The Hope", fathers and sons fighting side by side. Along the way, the book introduces the leading historical figures of the time, from Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and Henry Kissinger to Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat, and outlines the tense escalation between the superpowers, including the American nuclear alert that alarmed the world.

Publisher Notes
'The Glory' brings back 'The Hope's' remarkable characters and their children, including Zev Barak, Isreal's point man in Washington; Emily Halliday, his American and CIA connected paramour; and Sam Pasternak, the aging Mossad officer in love with the wife of the dashing tank commander, Kishote. From dust-choking battles to the Entebbe raid, from Camp David to the inner lives of historical figures like Golda Meir, Moshe Dyan, and Anwar Sadat -- this masterful historical fiction and crowning work in a saga of Jewish experience that Herman Wouk began with the 'Wind of the Wars,'
Media Reviews
