Now, in the twilight of a dying decade, they must return to the United States to forge a new type of American soldier—one to be tested on the beaches of Cuba and in a new war yet to come...

Once again, WEB Griffin does not disappoint. There were all the drama, all the changing fortunes, all the personality clashes that I have enjoyed so much in the previous three novels in the series.
A large part at the opening of this book is a long lead in to a New Years Eve party at the Officers' Club at Fort Rucker. It does indeed turn out to be a dramatic event.

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.
