A novel about an American naval family caught up in World War II. Herman Wouk (May 27, 1915 – May 17, 2019) was an American author best known for historical fiction such as The Caine Mutiny (1951) which won the Pulitzer Prize. His other major works include The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, historical novels about World War II, and nonfiction such as This Is My God, an explanation of Judaism from a Modern Orthodox perspective, written for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences. His books have been translated into 27 languages. The Washington Post called Wouk, who cherished his privacy, "the reclusive dean of American historical novelists". Historians, novelists, publishers, and critics who gathered at the Library of Congress in 1995 to mark Wouk's 80th birthday described him as an American Tolstoy. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Wouk joined the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1942 and served in the Pacific Theater during World War II, an experience he later characterized as educational: "I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans." The Caine Mutiny went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A bestseller, drawing from his wartime experiences aboard minesweepers during World War II, The Caine Mutiny was adapted into a Broadway play called The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial and Columbia Pictures released a film version with Humphrey Bogart portraying Lt. Commander Philip Queeg, captain of the fictional USS Caine. More

Alan Wykes was an author and journalist , Alan Wykes was a prolific storyteller with a prodigious memory for historical detail. Down the years much of his work was in collaboration with others, a few of them better known as biographers than he was himself. In Noel Barber's final work Daughter of the Prince, published two years ago, it was Wykes who managed to finish the last two- thirds of the book on his own when Barber fell tragically ill and died suddenly. Wykes had a sharp eye while 'looking at the field' and managed to hit upon titles with such lethal subjects as The Doctor and His Enemy (1964; about syphilis) and Lucrezia Borgia (1970), Hitler (1970), Goebbels (1971), Himmler (1972) and Heydrich (1972).

After 1945 he was known for his journalistic work on the history of the "Third Reich" and the Second World War. In the early 1950s, he also worked for Henri Nannen's new magazine Stern and represented this provisionally in the second half of 1951 as editor-in-chief. More
