      This book isn't particularly deep or impressive, but as a break from college studies, it was nice. Overall, the plot reads like a really long intro chapter, as there's no greater story arc. Just a few guys getting sent into various parts of a war. Hopefully the rest of the series will flesh it out more.
    • 3/5
      Yup a wholly different WW2 soap opera. I own book 3 so I thought I'd start on the series. Nothing special.
    • 3/5
      Unlike other W.E.B. Griffin books, this book got off to a very slow start...in fact, it might be a slow start to a seven book series. It chronicles the beginning of the OSS with Wild Bill Donovan, with a salute to the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) and some preparation for the Manhattan Project and the Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. As usual, there is a considerable amount of "soap opera." Our heroes are impressed into the OSS and begin their work. The dialogue is quintessential Griffin...he reads to you every written document so that it becomes conversation. I'm amazed that the POTUS and MacArthur are personally involved with some wet behind the ears Lieutenants...but Griffin can write anything he wants. On to book #2.
