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....

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.

Increasingly engaging

The Lieutenants started off slowly, but built up the characters. The Captains share is the progression of maturity of the characters. I can’t stop listening and spending lots of money doing so.

Absolutely Hooked!

Get these in order. Awesome story and action. What a series! This series will be a hit with all genres. I highly recomend this series to all. This is the first time I have downloaded an entire series after hearing the first two books. Worth twice the price.

My favorite series if fictional military history.

The Brotherhood of War books is my favorite series of books. I am a veteran and the author really captured the esprit de corps of military life.
