Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - From the Back Cover
They were the chosen ones and the ones who chose to be the best. Never before had the United States given so select a group of fighting men such punishing preparation. Now they were heading for their ultimate test of skill and nerve and sacrifice, in a war unlike any they or their country had ever fought before, in a land that most of America still knew nothing about, Vietnam.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - "General Hospital" in Army green
This is a weak series of books, as far as war novels go. They're more like an ongoing soap opera than gritty war drama (think "General Hospital" as a novel, only set between 1945-1970 and revolving around the Army instead of Port Charles.) The characters are given plenty of time to evolve, and some do (Lowell, in particular.) But it all seems too phony. A good war novel should have some truth in it, but it is in short supply with these books.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EXCELLENT
THE ENTIRE SERIES IS EXCELLENT. I HAVE READ THE ENTIRE CATALOG,MEN AT WAR,THE CORP,BROTHERHOOD OF WAR. LOOKING FORWARD TO BOOK THREE IN THE MEN AT WAR SERIES DUE IN JANUARY 2000. IF YOU CAN HELP, I'M LOOKING FOR HARDBOUND ISSUES OF THE FIRST TWO CORP BOOKS AND BROTHERHOOD OF WAR FROM LT'S-BERETS



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another good one from Griffin
The Triumph and the Glory may be the big war novel hit of 99, but Griffin's Brotherhood of War is hard to beat, and The Berets is one of the best of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the insights into military life and the rock solid theme that this fine book offers. Read the entire series, I did and rate it very highly.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More of the Greatest Griffin
Another great Griffin story that works through several characters. Excellent story
