The Glory is Herman Wouk’s sweeping sequel to his earlier novel The Hope, continuing his richly detailed fictionalised account of Israel’s turbulent military and political history from the 1940s onward.
Blending real historical figures with fictional protagonists, Wouk explores pivotal events such as:
The Six-Day War
Yom Kippur War
Ongoing regional conflicts and diplomacy
The social and emotional toll on the Israeli people
Wouk’s signature style—panoramic, dramatic, and deeply researched—creates an immersive narrative that examines the triumphs, tragedies, and complexities of the Middle East.
The book includes historical notes clarifying the mix of fact, characterisation, and narrative invention.
