The Colonels

Brotherhood of War Series, Book 4

By: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

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.

The historical facts and the characters

From the first book in the series up through this book, I have been hooked on the characters

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!
