Nothing new in this series,
By Jeffrey C. Tyler (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Griffin Three Complete Novels (Hardcover)
Mr. Griffin has a formula. One formula, with one character and nothing changes. This book, the entire series, and in reality all of Mr Griffin's work is nothing more than the literary equivalent of marshmallow creme only with less flavor and nutritive value. I recommend it for use as a soporific or in a pinch toilet tissue.

This review is from: Griffin Three Complete Novels (Hardcover)
The Brotherhood of War ï¿ The Lieutenants/The Captains/The Majors is a combination of the first three books of W.E.B. Griffinï¿s magnificent series. Unlike any other military book that Iï¿m familiar with, Griffin writes about life in the military rather than focusing on combat as most military writers do. In this book, he will take you from the start of World War II through its end and into the years of developing tension with the Soviet Union and finally into Korea. You will see what life in the Army is like through the eyes of two very different individuals; Craig Lowell , an obscenely rich, rebellious young man with astounding talents for both heroism and indiscretion and Sanford Felter, a small, slight, diminutive Jew with a brilliant mind and an uncompromising attitude. You will learn how both become Lieutenants in the U.S. Army through the most unlikely of circumstances and how both progress through the Army. You will meet their many friends, their superiors and their loves as Griffin makes each character come so alive, you imagine yourself standing beside them. If your desire is tactical combat with bullets flying and bombs exploding, there will be very little of such situations in these books, which is a shame, considering how vivid and realistic Griffin presents them. However, for anyone whoï¿s ever wondered what the military life is like, I can give no higher recommendation. Open these only when you are fully rested, because you will not get much sleep until you complete the entire series.
