The Soldier Spies

Like all W.E.B. Griffin books this book shows the personalities of it characters and makes you like them.

i look forward to any griffin books.

not necessarily reviewing this latest book, but in general would like to say, I had not read any books in over 20 years until my father asked me if I would like o read the corps series. After starting with book one I found I could not put down the books. I read the complete series in 1 week. I have since read the Men In Blue series as well as all other books written by W.E.B Griffin. I have since re-read the books and look forward to any and all new books.

It is fantastic, Griffin know his subject.

Griffin knows how to fit history with fiction and he has a real knowledge of the military. I read this book originally under his Alex Baldwin name and found the series fasinating.Would you please encourage him to continue the series through 1945 - there are plenty of OSS actions.

Good military fiction

I've always enjoyed WEB's work. I recommend another author-- Bob Mayer. His special forces series gives a real insight into the men who now wear the Green Beret.

As usual, WEB delivers.

I read a review copy of this manuscript and it was vintage Griffin. Fictional characters caught up in real events written at a pace that will keep you interested. Also recommend Bob Mayer's special forces books which Griffin gave a blurb to when they came out.
