Not one book, but a whole series.

[Derrick Stephenson]

Hi People,
I can thoroughly recommend an author called W.E.B. Griffin.
He has written a series of books about the U.S. military that go from WW2 to the present, but it is best to read them in the correct order, as they are cross linked.
He has a knack of linking true facts with fiction which makes for tremendous reading (like Wilbur Smith and his series on the history of South Africa).
He also has a similar series about the U.S. Police.
All the best,
Derrick.

Hi there..~ So far read 2 of W.E.B's...~

Only my $0.02...but it's rather, slow most of the times...~ The story's smooth..but not much kick...~ As in not much action but perhaps that's how WWII's fought sometimes...~

Recall one's Blood & Honour while forgot the others title..~

Anyway, perhaps the series would be much more better though it aint easy to find here in Malaysia on W.E.B's...~

One thing I've noticed about Griffith's books is that the relationships between the military characters is something I remember from my time in the Army; it's a feeling akin to love. I haven't seen the guys in my advisory team for 34 years & 50 weeks, but I still love 'em. We depended on each other for life..a pretty basic relationship I would say. Now, I wasn't a grunt, treadhead or redleg, but our team consisted of 11 men living on a Vietnamese compound. We were pretty darn dependent on each other, from the major on down to me, a Spec4. I do get a strong sense of the band of brothers. This is what strikes me as the familiar in Griffith's books.
