highly recommended

The Generals have a mission--to lead America's finest against her most relentless enemy deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia--but it is a new kind of war, one for which the Generals have prepared their new army. Reissue.

W.E.B. Griffin has done a superb job of this story

Although the series of books are about Special Forces & Army "Airdales", (I'm sorry, it's the Marine coming out of me), I enjoyed the novel very much. The whole brotherhood series builds on grade structure and is a conitnuity unto itself of the characters involved. Great reading and you don't want it to end.

The Brotherhood of War: The Generals

As far as I'm concerned, The Brotherhood of War series is simply the best set of books ever written.

If you like, historical fiction based on fact style novels, this series is a must read.

The Generals is book six of nine in The Brotherhood of Wars series.

Brotherhood of War-The Generals

So far I have read the Botherhood of War books up to the Generals and along with the other novels I have read this one is also Great!I hope the rest are as good asthe first ones!

Not the best book in the series.

This book is the beginning of the disappointment in the Brotherhood of War series... In 'Part 1' which seems to have been written at a different time and mind set than 'Part 2' a senior officer demands to know why Colonel Lowell was not given a command position in the new Air Cavalry they've developed. He is apparently given one but that's ALL we get to hear on the subject except for in... 'Part 2' which feels altogether different from the first part. We hear a couple sentence rumor of Lowell's exploits in 'nam where he's supposedly insulted a superior and challenged him to court martial him. That's it. Lowell's service as a commander (something he's good at. Something we're told repeatedly throughout the story that's he's good at) is concluded in less than a paragraph and will now and forever be left a mystery. I sort of feel that by now in the series that Craig Lowell would have learned not to have affairs with married women seeing the trouble it's gotten him into in the past but this brilliant, intelligent, rich man once again is written into the stupidity of sleeping not only with a married woman but a fellow officer's wife. This foil got old several novels ago and it was disappointing to see it raised again as a plot device. We also finally see the return of Lowell's son who's in and out of the novel in a short time. He's grown up to be not a very nice person. The ending, as others have stated is abrupt, confusing and very disappointing. The mission in 'Part 2' is interesting (if not historically accurate) and well done but sadly kills off a long time character for no apparent reason. This book begins the decline of the series and should have been the last as it was planned to be. Worth reading but not as good as past novels in the series. Long time readers will be disappointed.

The Middle

Man, does this guy HATE the Air Force. That's okay, because after reading the last chapter of his last book, we hate him, too. Rewriting the Son-Toy raid to glorify the Army? Please. That was a USAF op, Mr. Griffinth, accept it, admit defeat, or take your fantasy revisionist history and go home. The retired Maryland insurance salesman will keep you company.

Other than that, I actually loved his first 5 3/4 books. After reading those last ten pages, however, I took everything from WEB and tossed it in the trash or gave it away.

Really.
