07/25/2005 Entry: "Herman Wouk's impact today"

"Herman Wouk's best-selling novels (made into films and TV mini-series) such as The Winds of War (1971) and War and Remembrance (1978) brought an awareness of the Holocaust to tens of millions of Americans, making it seem an episode in U.S. history and a part of American historical experience. Wouk's work put a U.S. spin on the Nazi Holocaust, emphasizing the righteousness of U.S. military and international power and the sanctity of American institutions. In addition, in The Caine Mutiny (1951), Wouk created the first American neoconservative hero."
The First Neoconservative. Herman Wouk, the Americanization of the Holocaust, and the Rise of Neoconservatism, by Joel Brodkin (via Wood S Lot, who finds the coolest stuff)
