Publisher's summary

It was more than an incident: It was a deadly assault across the 38th parallel. It was the Korean War. In the fear and the frenzy of battle, those who had served with heroism before were called again by America to man the trenches and sandbag bunkers. From Pusan to the Yalu, they drove forward with commands too new and tanks too old, brothers in war, bonded together in battle as they had never been in peace....

Sheesh! Terrific!

Wow, these first two of the series are so smart, so true, so thrilling, so rich with sociology, psychology, culture, humanity, and history. Not to mention the page-turning plot. I am enthralled! How have I never heard of this author until now?!?

Soap opera for men

I have really enjoyed this series by W. E. B. Griffin. The character development is great and the narrator, Eric G Dove is very good. This entire series has been like a soap opera for men. I find myself getting attached to some characters and not liking others. There is plenty of military action but there is also some of the day to day stuff that happens in life. The descriptions of the day to day life in the military is very accurate and the details are spot on. The narrator gets most of his terminology right and keeps his characters in their unique style of voice throughout the series. If you're a military history buff or just looking for a good series to start give this one a try.

Brotherhood of War Series

This is a very good series. However, the person reading this needs to learn the proper pronunciation of military words.

one of my favorite authors

I read this series when first released.. then read it again. I feel like the characters are old friends. Now my glasses (bifocals) make reading uncomfortable, Audible makes these books come alive again. The books are very entertaining, the story line gives insight to the inner workings of the US Army and the soldiers who fought the wars that are now history. I love these books and highly recommend each of WEB Griffins books. Be prepared to be hooked.

Amazing story. The narrator messed up.

Of course, story was amazing. But hearing the narrator mess up pronunciations of a number of military terms and saying 8:00 PM in military is "2 thousand" was really irritating.
