ABSTRACT
Wouk is author of a number of other works published well before his two major novels about World War II. In this chapter I will discuss his play The Traitor (1949), his science fiction novella The “Lomokome” Papers (1949), his credo This is My God (1959), and his moving introduction to a collection of letters by an Israeli war hero killed at Entebbe and published posthumously in 1980. The object of this discussion is to see what these works and others discussed earlier tell us about the novelist, his idées maîtresses, his values; in short, his “belief system.” 1
