Herman Wouk, Pulitzer Prize winning author of three of my favorite books, was born on this day in 1915.

Inspired by his service on a minesweeper in the Pacific during World War II, Herman Wouk published THE CAINE MUTINY in 1951. It captivated the American public and became the most widely read novel of its time. The author adapted it into a Broadway play titled The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial in 1953 and it hit screens in the 1954 film starring Humphrey Bogart. Not surprisingly, the Navy was not pleased with Wouk’s fictional portrayal of one of their senior officers and insisted on changes before filming. In 1971 he would publish THE WINDS OF WAR, following it with WAR AND REMEMBRANCE in 1978, books that had a profound impact on me as a writer and a student of military history. 

One of the greatest of all time, Herman Wouk passed away in May of 2019, just ten days shy of his 104th birthday.
