Publisher's summary

Dien Bien Phu. Saigon. Hanoi. In 1954, they were only exotic names from a French campaign halfway around the world. But now American fighting men - proven on the bloody beaches of Normandy and in the minefields of Korea - are summoned to help beat back the guerilla forces of Ho Chi Minh. To some, the “secret” war in Indochina was the depth of folly. To others, like the majors, it pointed to the heights of glory.

A Man’s Soap Opera

I have enjoyed the first 3 books in this series. The story is engaging. The historical references are accurate. It is like a Soap Opera written for men!

Lowell is saved again

True to form, Griffin, entertains. His descriptions are incredibly realistic. If I close my eyes, I could see big bad bird 2 at the parade ground and the ensuing mayhem

Great Performance and Tale

This continues the Brotherhood series. I discovered WEB 30 years ago as a young Lance Corporal onboard a ship heading parts unknown.
Nothing he has written has disappointed me.

The narrator was fantastic! You could tell who he was speaking about just by the voice, accent or tone. Not an easy thing to do!
I’ll be listening to The Colonels next. But I’ll come back and listen to all of these again. It’s that good!

Smooth as 24 yo scotch.

Having previously read this series I find myself binge listening to one of my favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and start with book number one. It's worth the trouble and the price.

Fantastic retelling of history

For those of us who lived and remember flight school as recounted in “The Majors”, I for one could not pause the story. I just closed my eyes and the story brought back some of the best memories of my life.
