Publisher's summary

From Shanghai to Wake Island, the Corps was America’s first line of defense as the winds of war exploded into the devastating surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. This is the story of the men of the Marine Corps, their loves and loyalties, an elite fraternity united by courage and honor, as they steel themselves for battle, prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice....

Love this story

I read these books several years ago and decided that I wanted to re listen to them and the technical stuff can get to be a bit much but the story is fabulous if you just ignore it

Great Book

Very nicely written. Writer draws you right in and you can picture the events as they unfold.

Another amazing book series!

After listening to his book series “The Brotherhood of War Series” I didn’t think he could follow it up with another. “The Corps Series” is starting off just as good.

Awesome story

You live though the main character in this book and find yourself wanting the best for him. The reader is a bit hard to get use to and this listener would of preferred someone with more range of voices. The story is definitely worth listening to.

Great books

I think this is the third time I will have listened to this series. For an 82 year old grandmother that's not bad.

After all these years

I haven't read a Griffin book in years and I've never tried a Griffin audiobook. I'm now hooked. Time to download Book 2 of this great series.

Semper Fi. until the day i die.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This give a great history of the Marine Corps before and during World War II

What did you like best about this story?

It seamed like things that happened in the 1930's and 1940's in the Corps still happen today.
