The Captains (Brotherhood of War)

The Captains is certainly one of the best books in any of the series Griffin has written. I served in armored cavalry and in MI and Griffin knows the army and its array of characters. He is a master of character development, dialogue and military humor. There is none of the obsequious boot-licking of the military present in Clancy's novels. Unlike Clancy, who has his lips firmly entrenched on the military's derriere, Griffin pulls no punches. I can't give Griffin a better salute than to say, GARRYOWEN, SIR!

I have read the entire series more than once, and it gets better every time I read it. Mr. Griffin definately has the gift for describing the military community. I gave 20 years to my country, and I can't wait for him to talk about the Air Force.

W.E.B. comes through again with a hard hitting fast paced novel. While the entire Brotherhood of war series is a spectecular blend of military action, espionage, and drama The Captians is the pinnacle of the series. The life of Lowell sees so many ups and downs in this book it would make most men fall apart but Griffin portrays these situations so realistically that I couldn't help but feel I was right there and feeling the emotions running through me. The key here is believability and W.E.B. comes through with flying colors. Well Done. Do yourself a favor and read this series, and make sure you take your heart medication before reading this particular book.

This was another excellent book! I highly recommend this series to anyone who is interested in or enjoys reading about the military. You should definitely read The Lieutenants first though, because the story is progressive. Can't wait to read the next in the series!

An informed, and detailed look into the careers of the military officers in the Korean war. Check out "the Duke" and his men racing to the link up point, and causing havoc for the enemy.Find out what S.T. Felter is doing, and see what MacMillan is doing now. But read the Lieutenants first and you will be greatly satisfied
