Book Overview
As The Soldier Spies opens, it is November 1942. War is raging in Europe. The invasion of North Africa has begun. In Washington, OSS chief William J. Donovan finds himself fighting a rear-guard battle against an unexpected enemy: the rival intelligence chiefs back home. In Morocco, Second Lieutenant Eric Fulmar waits in the desert for a car containing two top-level defectors -- or will it be full of SS men instead? In England, Major Richard Canidy gets the mission of his life: to penetrate into the heart of Germany and bring out the man with the secret of the jet engine, before the Germans grab hold of him. In France, the Allies must find a way to breach the seemingly impregnable German submarine pens at Saint-Lazare. The only hope? An experimental, pilotless flying bomb. Or at least that's what a lieutenant named Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., thinks....

not necessarily reviewing this latest book, but in general would like to say, I had not read any books in over 20 years until my father asked me if I would like o read the corps series. After starting with book one I found I could not put down the books. I read the complete series in 1 week. I have since read the Men In Blue series as well as all other books written by W.E.B Griffin. I have since re-read the books and look forward to any and all new books.
It is fantastic, Griffin know his subject.

Griffin knows how to fit history with fiction and he has a real knowledge of the military. I read this book originally under his Alex Baldwin name and found the series fasinating.Would you please encourage him to continue the series through 1945 - there are plenty of OSS actions.
Good military fiction

I've always enjoyed WEB's work. I recommend another author-- Bob Mayer. His special forces series gives a real insight into the men who now wear the Green Beret.
As usual, WEB delivers.

I read a review copy of this manuscript and it was vintage Griffin. Fictional characters caught up in real events written at a pace that will keep you interested. Also recommend Bob Mayer's special forces books which Griffin gave a blurb to when they came out.
