The Winds of War was best-selling novellist Herman Wouk's second book about World War II, the first being The Caine
Mutiny (1951). Published in 1971, it was followed up seven years later by War and Remembrance. Originally conceived as
one volume, Wouk decided to break it in two when he realized it took nearly 1000 pages just to get to the attack on
Pearl Harbor. In 1983, it became a hugely successful mini-series on the ABC television network.



The story revolves around a mixture of real and fictional characters, all connected in some way to the extended family
of Victor "Pug" Henry, a middle-aged Naval Officer and confidant of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.



The story begins six months before Germany's invasion of Poland, which launched the European portion of the war, and
ends shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when the United States and, by extension, the Henry family, enters the
war as well.



Author Herman Wouk was very negative and skeptical about a motion picture adaptation of his beloved and scrupulously
researched novel, since he was most displeased with several earlier adaptations of his novels. But in 1983, Winds of War
eventually became a successful mini-series on the ABC television network directed by Dan Curtis. Herman Wouk himself
wrote the teleplay for the series and had considerable influence on the production itself, and gave detailed
instructions on what and how many commercials would be allowed. Wouk also has a cameo as the archbishop of Siena. The
music with its famous main theme was composed by Bob Cobert, a composer often associated with Curtis. Nazi Concentration
camp-survivor Branko Lustig was an associate producer in the miniseries, and also on Schindler's List.



The miniseries follows the book closely and depicts events from March 1939 until the entry of the United States into
World War II in December 1941. Just as in the book, in addition to the lives of the Henry and Jastrow-families, much
time in the miniseries is devoted to the major global events of this period. Adolf Hitler and the German military staff
with the fictitious general von Roon as a major character is a prominent subplot of the miniseries. Winds of War also
includes segments of documentary footage narrated by William Woodson to explain major events and important
characters.



This miniseries was followed by the sequel War and Remembrance in 1988.

Major cast of characters



Robert Mitchum - Victor Henry ("Pug")



Curtis originally envisioned a man in his late forties, early fifties in this part (which also was the age given for Pug
Henry in the novel), but said that he couldn't find anyone with the "suitable authority and World War II-era
quality" until they found Mitchum, who was, however, much older (in his seventies).



Ali MacGraw - Natalie Jastrow



Curtis first thought Ali McGraw was too old for the part, but changed his mind after meeting McGraw herself and saw how
beautiful she was. Associate producer Barbara Steele described her as having the right independence for Natalie.
Unfortunately, public opinion was less than favorable. Critics panned her performance as she was deemed far too old to
convincingly portray a woman who was supposed to be in her late twenties. She was not rehired for the sequel, "War
and Remembrance" and was replaced by Jane Seymour who was nominated for an emmy for her performance.



Jan-Michael Vincent - Byron Henry ("Briny")



Vincent was considered by Curtis to be a bit troublesome, and partied hard during the production and often came up
unprepared[citation needed], but Curtis said after some rehearsals on the set, he put up a great, natural performance.
As with MacGraw, Vincent was also not rehired for the sequel.



John Houseman - Aaron Jastrow



Houseman became ill when Curtis went into production with the sequel War and Remembrance, and died shortly before its
broadcast began, so he was unable to reprise his role. He was replaced by John Gielgud.



Polly Bergen - Rhoda Henry



Lisa Eilbacher - Madeline Henry



David Dukes - Leslie Slote



Topol - plays the 60-ish character of Berel Jastrow in the series, but was in his 40s during the production.



Ben Murphy - Warren Henry



Peter Graves - Palmer Kirby ("Fred")



Jeremy Kemp - Brig. Gen. Armin von Roon



Ralph Bellamy - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt



Bellamy had previously played Roosevelt in Sunrise at Campobello.



Victoria Tennant - Pamela Tudsbury



This was one of the producers toughest casting choices, until they finally found Tennant. Curtis said after he saw her
physical suitability for the role "God, let her be able to act!"



Günter Meisner - Adolf Hitler



Howard Lang - Winston Churchill



Michael Logan - Alistair Tudsbury



Barry Morse - Wolf Stoller
