The Lieutenants

Brotherhood of War, Book 1

By: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

Critic reviews

“An American epic.” (Tom Clancy)

Finally!!

What did you love best about The Lieutenants?

This is a series that is about life in the military, but has super character development. I've read the entire series several times and still enjoy going back. Listening to the performance is a differenet experience.

What other book might you compare The Lieutenants to and why?

The only other series of books following a set of characters that compares is Tom Clancy's

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I use the recording of the book to escape during excercise, yard work, etc. so I don't do it all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Great series....hopefully the others in this series will be available soon!!!!!

A great read.

I read this series when it first came out in print and enjoyed them. a few years later I enjoyed them again through Audible.
I wish they would of been sold as a set at a discounted price.
I would recommend this series to all.

Good story, painful pronounciation

This is another good read from W E B Griffin, who can be relied on to tell a good military themed tale. Interesting characters and several
Good story threads. What was disappointing was the narrator's lack the of understanding of how to pronounce German words, to a degree that was painful for anyone who knows the language even a little.

Incredible story

Very well written and look forward to readying the rest of the series. Thank you!

Starts slow but build and builds into brilliance

I found that it took a while for me to get into this but as it built and stories and characters developed I really got into it it. In fact, I finished the second half in two days. Will definitely get the next one in the series with so many characters to like.
