Summary: The Ultimate Marine Book
Review: Although it has little action Behind the Lines gives a behind the scenes look at how the war in the Pacific was planned and won.

Summary: The Most Exciting Plot Line Yet...
Review: Although this book is now several years old I felt it was worth the time to comment on it since WEB just had another installment of The Brotherhood of War published. The new book had it's usual effect on me and I went into a "Griffin feeding frenzy" and re-read the last two books in The Corps" series.I rated this book "5-Stars" solely on the basis of the main plot--the support of guerrilla warfare activities in the Phillippines and the story of Wendell Fertig. I happen to like Ken McCoy and Ernie Zimmerman as central characters in all of The Corps novels. It is too bad that Griffin has elevated Fleming Pickering to such prominence in the more recent episodes;I prefer a more action-dominated story line and some of the "fluff" involving the O.S.S. involvement leaves me cold. My biggest criticism of the book is the relatively slow pace of the action. Too much time spent on wrangles with Bill Donovan and the O.S.S. hierarchy and Fleming Pickering swilling scotch. Some of these other criticisms might make the book less compelling for other readers,but I decided to overlook a few warts in my rating. I am tired of only one book in The Corps every 2-3 years. It is by FAR the best series the author has going. I can't abide the Cop series and I am thoroughly tired of Argentina. Stick to the Marines--forget the rest.

Summary: Hard to put down
Review: Anyone who enjoyed "Saving Private Ryan" will love ths series. Ever since a fellow Clancy reader pointed me to Book 1, I've waited anxiously for each new book in the Corps series. Griffin brings military history to life by entwining a broad cast of players in actual events, detailing the acts of courage and honor not frequently discussed by those who were there. I'd also recommend Jewett's Navy series.

Summary: Great Historical Novel
Review: As one who grew up looking up to the Marines who served in the Pacific Theater and heard their hushed talk between themselves of the days from December 7th to VJ Day, W.E.B. Griffin fleshes out a whole era in a way that brings back memories both good and bad. Great Series and I look forward to his next book.

Summary: The Saga of THE CORPS should continue!!!
Review: Badge of Honor Series and Honor Bound Series do not live up to the Brotherhood of War and The Corps, which are favorites of all time.Why doesnt Mr.Griffin finish The Corps and leave the lesser interesting series alone? I want to know if McCoy and Ernie get married,and if Kofflers baby is a boy or girl,and if Pick and Martha ever get together...all the makings of a great mini-series. Casting would be a HOOT!! Any ideas??

Summary: Another great one from Griffin
Review: BEHIND THE LINES is yet another riveting novel in the Corps series from W.E.B. Griffin. Read ALL of his fine novels, he is the master. I've just finished the new WWII airwar novel, THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY, which, by the way, was terrific, and plan to read again the Brotherhood of War books. I'll have a busy summer but will enjoy every minute.

Summary: Outstanding fiction based on fact series.
Review: Ever since "The Brotherhood of War" series, this writer has cost me hundreds of dollars. I used to always wait for softcover books to come out, to save money. Now everything is hardbound,( I can't wait a year for next edition) They should have his books in a history class. The events that take place were real. and maybe the kids of today would actually read and remember something.

Summary: Realistic FacTION
Review: Griffin not only captures the smell and feeling of ground combat, he does it so effective that you almost burn your fingers turing pages. Great action, great description and stunningly effective characterizations. It is too bad there are not more authors of this calibre.
