W.E.B. Griffin does a very good job writing the 1st book of the series "Brotherhood of War". his first book, the Lieutenants, is about the rank of the lieutenant during the second World War. Most of the book is based on soldiers and officers that are stations overseas, and are enlisted in the Unied States Army. It includes a wide variety of people, ranging from West Point dropouts to Major Generals. The book isn't so much about the fighting of World War 2, but rather the lives of the officers, and how they lived. Most of the battle scenes are at the beginning of the book, and towards the last half of the book, which was at a time after the war, while troops remained in Greece. It is a very good book, I think, and a great series to read. I would recommend this book for mature audiences that enjoy reading.

The best series of books, along with his other series, "The Corps," that you will enjoy every time you read through it. The characters become friends, and Griffin is a master at characterization. Action packed, and great airplane fodder. Conservatives will love it, and progressives...well, don't even bother.
