I've read his Brotherhood of War series and the Corps series and the one one about S. America during WWII. The guy is a great story teller. I actually met a guy who was taken prisoner by the Germans in April of 1945 and the Soviets came through and were getting ready to load up all of the POW regardless of country of origin and ship them East. Luckily he and some other Americans POWs were plucked out of line by some field grade US officers from the Soviets before being loaded on the train. Talk about scary. |

Yep - he's a good story teller, but I get bored after the sequel - it's like reading the same story over and over and over again. I do that with most series actually - with a couple of exceptions. |

His Philadelphia police series is probably the best. Like men at war, follows an officer though the ranks. |

So far I've read only three of his books in the 'Men at War' series. I like him. I'll finish this series and find another to start. How did you like the 'Brotherhood of War' series? |

It was interesting to read when I was young, when I was 19 or 20. He likes to tell the story about the development of something whether it be Army Aviation or the OSS/CIA interwoven into historical context. The really are page turners. My other favorite author until he was convicted was Jeffrey Archer, an English guy. His collections of short stores, three books if I remember correctly, were really good. And, one of his best stories was Cain and Able. |
