"This started it and I have been a faithful fan through out all of his series. Moving over into The Brotherhood of War and Badge of Honor was so easy to follow his style of writing. And learning about the other services with the Aviators and Special Ops gave me pride and enjoyment of the adventures Griffin tells with historical perspective is wonderful."

" So happy to be reading this again for 2013. It's one of my favorite series. Not just for the Marine Corp details, or the rich history, but because I love each of the characters. McCoy, Pick, Ernie...I can't choose a favorite. Book one starts prior to the US entry into WW II with the Marines stationed in China and ends with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Welcome to World War II, boys. It's going to be a hell of a ride. "

" Griffin's narrative & character description flow easily, colorfully, content is well researched & believeable -> I recommend reading both books "Semper Fi" (book-1) + "Call to Arms" (book-2) together. "

" Being a Navy veteran, I just love WEB Griffin's series! "
— Leon, 1/20/2014 -
" The very best WWII history in novel form I've ever read. There are 9 books and once you begin you won't stop till the war is over. "
— Ann, 1/18/2014 -
" It was a fun read, and may have been the best in the entire series. "
— Mark, 1/4/2014 -
" Rough language, rough attitude, and total lack of morals. It's a super soldier book full of cussing, killing, and self serving behavior. Won't be reading any thing else by the author. "
— Troy, 11/27/2013 -
" As a Marine veteran. I enjoyed this series way too much. The characters reminded me of many of the friends I made while in the Corps, and many of the good memories that will stay with me throughout my life. "
— Bill, 10/14/2013 -
" A total BOY book. The male equivalent of a Harlequin perhaps? But I found it entertaining nonetheless. "
— Carolyn, 10/12/2013 -
" Griffin's writing is clear, concise, and compelling. Military historical fiction at its best. "
— Robert, 9/14/2013 -
" Being a former Marine, this book hit home. It has been a while since I read this book, but since then I have read all the books in the The Corps series and have moved on to read almost all of W.E.B. Griffin's books. "
— Kirk, 8/6/2013 -
" This is the first in the series. I have read them all & enjoyed them. "
— Marsha, 7/28/2013 -
" W.E.B. Griffin does it again got me hooked into a series one book in... "
— John, 6/23/2013 -
" he really does need someone to keep track of all his characters, but otherwise a good read. "
— Condorita, 5/10/2013 -
" You have to get used to the way that Griffin writes,(lot of unnecessary back story if you've read the previous books in the series) but it really gets into the minutiae of military life. It also delves into the history of pre-war America and China. "
— Michael, 3/1/2013 -
" This is an astonishingly good book. I will certainly be reading more W.E.B. Griffin. "
— Paul, 1/12/2013 -
" Too *** much attitude, even for a Marine.... "
— Edward, 12/8/2012 -
" So much better than the other book I read by W.E.B. Griffen. This was a good start to what I hope and think will be a good series. "
— M-dawg, 5/25/2012 -
" Entertaining historical fiction set in the late 1930s and cintinuing into 1942. "
