Publisher's summary

They were the professionals, the men who had been toughened by combat in the mine-laden fields of Europe, in Korea, in Greece, in Indochina. Now, in the twilight of a dying decade, they must return to the United States to forge a new type of American soldier - one to be tested on the beaches of Cuba and in a new war yet to come....

Critic reviews

"[Griffin’s] writing enriched by new, fully developed characters... renders an intricately layered, epic novel of international politics... ” ( Publishers Weekly)

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.

Great book. Love this collection.

Great book. Love this collection. W.E.B. Griffin is my favorite writer. reading the generals next.

Absolutely wonderful again!

My only possible dislike of this book or series is that I am getting close to the end of it, and I hate to think of coming to the end because it is so genuinely enjoyable.

Great series

All the books from the lieutenants through the generals are really excellent. I've read them and I've listen to them all several times over a 20 year period.

another fantastic book by w e b Griffin

if you like historical fiction will always love w e b Griffin books, the narration is fantastic

A great continuation of the Brotherhood of War.

The Colonels is the fourth book in W.E.B. Griffin's series Brotherhood of War. I have enjoyed all of the books in the series so far, including The Colonels.

It had been a few months since reading the preceding books and I liked how Griffin provided information about the characters in the previous books. This was perfect for refreshing my memory me of them, and will also be perfect for readers that can enjoy the story without having to read the previous books.

I especially liked the character, Craig Lowell. I also liked learning about the build up to the Vietnam War. I definitely plan on reading the next book in the series, The Berets, which is Book 5.

The reader, Eric G. Dove was excellent!

Great book

I can listen to all nine of the books over and over again. I was in the 82nd Airborne

Wonderful

This story has captured my imagination and my great respect for my father Ret AF Lt Colonel and my uncle Major General WLStarnes. One of the best stories i have read in close to 400 books on Audible. If you liked Crash Dive you will love this. The narrator is superb rivaling Guidall, Bray etc. So much fun reliving history and the struggle of armed conflict and the struggles soldiers had trying to protect our country by outwitting the paper jockeys vs on the ground an in the air heros through this group of characters interactions! Wonderful!

Griffith is amazing

What an interesting perspective of the armed forces and the men and woman that keep our country safe. As I listen to this series it makes me think of my younger days when I served with pride.

Excellent

As a retired US Army Colonel the accuracy of this novel is astounding! I would recommend it as reading for all Army Officers.
