Brotherhood of War-The Generals

So far I have read the Botherhood of War books up to the Generals and along with the other novels I have read this one is also Great!I hope the rest are as good asthe first ones!

W.E.B. Griffin has done a superb job of this story

Although the series of books are about Special Forces & Army "Airdales", (I'm sorry, it's the Marine coming out of me), I enjoyed the novel very much. The whole brotherhood series builds on grade structure and is a conitnuity unto itself of the characters involved. Great reading and you don't want it to end.

Great

The best in the Brotherhood of War series. I generally like more mainstream war novels like THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY than Griffin's books, which are more tightly focused on the military life, but they are still great. Griffin is still the best at what he does!

Fantastic, it almost feels as if you're there yourself!

Griffin marvellously creates an atmosphere that really absorbs you as you read. Once you pick it up, you don't want to lay the book down again until you finish it. That goes for the whole 'Brotherhood of War' series, by the way.

Easily the most accurate protrayal of military life.

From a family of charter members to the W.P.P.A. (I have lived in Quarters 1 at Fort Benning and Fort Monroe) this is easily the most accurate and readable series of books about life among the officer class in the United States from the 40's through the 70's. Written in an exciting yet detailed manner, it serves as an accurate history of the United States Army from one who has been there. To me personally, the most exciting part is the history of Army Aviation, from the death of Scotty Laird to the secret wars with the Air Force. Though each book stands on its own, this series is a must read for anyone with an interest in the history of the Army. My only regret is that the series ended. Perhaps one more book - The Cadets? . . . . . .
