Story4.5 out of 5 stars 856
History recalls that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr., - marked by years of illegal surveillance and the accumulation of secret files - ended on April 4, 1968, when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray. But that may not have been the case. Now, 50 years later, former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone must reckon with the truth of what really happened that fateful day in Memphis.

The best Cotton Malone book yet
Reviewed: 08-01-18
This is the kind of book that keeps you up reading long into the night a great story based around historical events and a real page turner. In this book we get to know Cotton, and his thoughts & actions that much better - the new writing style worked very well. A great read.

Story5 out of 5 stars 5,943
Herman Wouk's sweeping epic of World War II, which begins with The Winds of War and continues here in War and Remembrance, stands as the crowning achievement of one of America's most celebrated storytellers. Like no other books about the war, Wouk's spellbinding narrative captures the tide of global events - and all the drama, romance, heroism, and tragedy of World War II - as it immerses us in the lives of a single American family drawn into the very center of the war's maelstrom.

Terrific read
Reviewed: 12-25-12
What made the experience of listening to War and Remembrance the most enjoyable?
As well as a great story the narration is absolutely wonderfu making the listen easy and enjoyable with terrific characterisation.
What other book might you compare War and Remembrance to and why?
Any historical fiction though the first part of this slory The Winds of War is equally as good, well narrated and researched. Puts me in mind of the Kite Runner for the sheer impact it had on my emotions.
What about Kevin Pariseau’s performance did you like?
I loved his ability to capture each of the characters personalities through accents and tones. He captures the moods within the story even singing.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were parts if it that broke my heart and made me cry, left me in anguish and horror. And left me with a total abhorrence of mans' inhumanity to man.
Any additional comments?
This was one of the best books I've ever read, a truly great read.
