Synopsis

The sixth book in W.E.B. Griffin's sweeping military epic of the United States Army—the New York Times bestselling Brotherhood of War series."W.E.B. Griffin is a storyteller in the grand tradition, probably the best man around for describing the military community. Brotherhood of War...is an American epic."—Tom ClancyThey were the leaders, the men who made the decisions that changed the outcome of battles...and the fate of continents. From the awesome landing at Normandy to the torturous campaigns of the South Pacific, from the frozen hills of Korea to the devastated wastes of Dien Bien Phu, they had earned their stars.
