LEON URIS WAS probably the most influential author for Cap. Battle Cry was the first historical novel Cap read; the book ignited Cap's interest in WW II as well as historical novels, and probably the Marines. The following books are listed in Cap's priority order...his favorites at the top.A VERY INTERESTING interview with Leon Uris can be found at this site. He has some great insight for authors. We all wish there were more of these interviews available.
Mila 18 -- the epic struggle of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto during WW II.
Exodus -- the classic illuminates the Jewish migration to Israel & the birth of a nation.
Battle Cry -- the book that started it all for Cap; the Marines in the epic Battle of Guadalcanal.
A God in Ruin -- an odd exploration of the Second Amendment and gun control in the guise of a political campaign.
Armageddon -- the Berlin Airlift, the spark that nearly reignited the world war.
