What I'm trying to understand though, is how many of these are 'WWII based'. Can you help me out on that?
The titles I read (mostly from 'Brotherhood of War' were always about the Korean Police Action or Vietnam.
Once I get a clear idea of his WWII novels, I will add them to our bookshelf.
But you really did a nice job there, with that assist. Much obliged!
Ok. Men at War Series and Honor Bound are WWII based. The Brotherhood of War starts during WWII but really doesn't cover much of the war. It is really about the development of the Green Beret's. It is pretty interesting though.
Honor Bound is kinda interesting because it takes place in South America, particularly in Argentina so you get a real interesting perspective in that part of the world.Men at War is really interesting also. Pilots who become OSS agents.
Also, many of the Corps series are about WWII. However, it has been a long time since I read them and I don't remember which ones are focused on WWII.
Except for the last two - the Corps series is based in WW II. THe last two are set in KoreaReally the only one in the Brotherhood of War series set in WW II at all is "The Lieutenants" - even then most of it is post war - mainly the occupation of Germany and the Civil War in Greece

Jon's list looks pretty complete to me, but if you want to cross check it, Wikipedia maintains a list of his books by series. Like Jon, I have read all the books in all the military series. I have read a few Presidential Agent and Badge of Honor books, but like his military/OSS books better.
I enjoy the Presidential Agent because I think the whole Russian aspect is interesting.
Does anyone else feel the Griffin books have slipped a little since the son hast taken over?
