From Publishers Weekly

Griffin already has a high profile in Berkley paperback; his six-volume Brotherhood of War saga, a Green Beret epic spanning WW II to Richard Nixon's presidency, has more than three million copies in print. With The New Breed, the series segues into hardcover, but this is not so much a sequel as a lengthy missing chapter from volume six. In late 1963, Col. Sandy Felter, formerly JFK's private Ollie North, returns from secret missions to Vietnam and the Congo and persuades new president LBJ that the Congo is as volatile as Southeast Asia. Felter's longtime friend, Manhattan banking scion Lt. Col. Craig Lowell, helps secure a crew that can combat any rebellion. Among the cast of characters: Jack Portet, an Army private who grew up flying planes in the Congo; Marjorie Bellmon, an officer's daughter for whom Jack goes "Top Gun"; Karl-Heinz Wagner, an East German who escaped through the Berlin Wall with his sister, Ursula; and Geoff Craig, Lowell's young Army cousin and Ursula's husband. The novel moves quickly, if somewhat disjointedly; Griffin's short-chapter, staccato style hampers continuity. He is also so entrenched in military jargon and lifestyle that the civilian reader may sometimes be confused. Those who have had some exposure to the service, however, will experience jolts of recognition in the hard-hitting narrative. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates; Military Book Club selection.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Somethings fishy in Denmark..., Janv. 8 2004
Par K. Blodgett "Hawk" (Palm Bay, Florida USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've enjoyed W.E.B. Griffin's books over the years but I'm none too sure of this or any of his newer books in the series (after the Colonels). While it's fiction and Griffin is allowed to rewrite history but it's annoying when he rewrites his own fictional history. Case in point, long time readers know how Craig Lowell received his promotion to Lieutenant so that he could play polo just after WWII. Yet in this book we're told that he received it as a battlefield commission in Greece. It's as good a read as any of the other books he's written but it seems he wasn't paying a lot of attention to his own source material while writing it.

Par "hamrad" (Kingston, TN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Excellent. All his war storied I have read over and over, sitting and laughing a great deal, and feeling for the problems of dealing with the military, as I know them. Great adventure, too.

3.0étoiles sur 5 I'd give it two-and-a-half stars if I could, Juil 4 2000
Par "bulldog51" (Connellsville, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This series is still nothing more than an Army soap opera, but this particular book is saved from my fiercer wrath because it deals with one of my own personal areas of intrest (the Cold War as it effected sub-Saharan Africa) which is usually unreported and ignored. At least Griffin put the effort in to know the background and some of the players involved in the chaotic atmosphere that was post-colonial Africa, even if the story is as syrupy as the rest of the series.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent
This is yet another great book in the Brotherhood of Arms series. The characters are great and I got a real feel for military life.
