Answer
American Tolstoy was the moniker bestowed upon Herman Wouk by historians on his 80th birthday. This epithet reflects Wouk's literary prowess and his ability to capture the American experience in his epic novels, much like Leo Tolstoy did for Russian society. Wouk's works, such as "The Caine Mutiny" and "War and Remembrance," are known for their sweeping scope, historical accuracy, and profound insights into human nature.
