In The Hope, Herman Wouk told the riveting saga of the first twenty years of Israel's existence, culiminating in it's resounding triump in the Six-Day War, which amazed the world as few events of this turbulent centry have.  With The Glory, Wouk rejoins the story of Israel's epic journey in one of the most compelling works yet. 
 
From the euphoric aftermath of that stunning victory in 1967, through the harrowing battles of the Yom Kipper War, the heroic Entebbe rescue, the historic Camp David Accords, and finally the celebratoin of 40 years of independence and the opening of the road to peace, Wouk immerses us in the bloody battles, the devasting defeats, the elusive victories.  He pluges us in the lives and loves of the men and women introduced in The Hope and through their eyes and hearts, we experience the emotional pinnac le of the triumph in 1967; then in a battle panorama unmatched in Wouk's work, we brave the test of fire that was the Yom Kippur War.
