Dien Bien Phu. Saigon. Hanoi. In 1954, they were only exotic names from a French campaign halfway around the world. But now American fighting men--proven on the bloody beaches of Normandy and in the minefields of Korea--are summoned to help beat back the guerilla forces of Ho Chi Minh. To some, the "secret" war in Indochina was the depth of folly. To others, like the Major...more

I love this series! I’ve learned a lot about the Army, but what I really like is that it reminds me of the short time I was in the service and a civil servant. Made me feel nostalgic for the “old” ways :)
We follow our characters from WWII, and Korea to the beginnings of aviation in the Army, fighting Algeria, and “advising” in Viet Nam. The character development has been really steady and remains true to form.

The 1950's Under Eisenhower, Algeria and the Vietnam Outset. After a MAG advisor assignment, Red Hanrahan and his family escape a highway ambush attack in Vietnam, followed by Felter, McMillan and Greer visiting Dien Bien Phu for a battlefield assessment where they receive more decorations. As the Army struggles to overcome the Airborne hangover, Craig Lowell champions rocket-armed helicopters and makes a grand demonstration at Ed Greer's funeral.

Like the books before it, the Majors is a pleasant read notable for its lack of war in a war book. I find myself getting a little bored at times, but I keep turning the page.

The ending of this book was particularly predictable, so I wonder if that will be the norm for upcoming books.

Another typical W.E.B. Griffin book, if you like him you'll like this book.
Terry Thomas
If you enjoy military stuff, read the whole series. Great.

Not quite as good as the first two books in the series, but still entertaining. My dad, who's read all of the books, says that while it's a bit slower, it provides important plot points for the rest of the series. I also just finished the next book, "The Colonels," and I plan to give that one a 5 star rating. What can I say, every series has a slow book, and "The Majors" seems to be that book in what is otherwise an awesome series.

Excellent!

I went through this series in my 'all things military' phase which lasted quit a while. I think most of the politics which would make the books interesting to me now got missed by my 15 year old self reading them. But I do remember enjoying them regardless but not enough to reread them.

I really like this series. This one isn't as good as the others and is more of a bridge between the books before and after. Not to much action, but still good.

Another of Griffin's World War II stories about the army. An interesting read.
Barbara
Continuing a series I was hooked on.
