Publisher Description
It was more than an incident. It was a deadly assault across the 38th parallel.
It was the Korean War.
In the fear and the frenzy of battle, those who had served with heroism before were called again by America to man the trenches and sandbag bunkers.
From Pusan to the Yalu, they drove forward with commands too new and tanks too old, brothers in war, bonded together in battle as they had never been in peace.…

"I have read a couple of novels by W.E.B. Griffin and was pleased with them. Consequently, I was looking forward to enjoying "The Captains". Not a fan. I was anticipating a lot more action. The story focused more on people. Not what I was expecting nor what I was looking for.The narration was decent, though reading every word/number on telegraphs/orders was a little tiresome. So was the recitation of unit titles (example: 73rd Heavy Tank, Reinforced).Overall, I would not recommend this book to folks looking for an action novel."

" Couldn't wait for the next book. This one left me wanting more. "
— David Johnson , 8/8/2016 -
" 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. "
— Russianwitch, 9/20/2013 -
" Got started on the series, read straight through it. It does give a particular point of view through the history of conflicts, with readable characters. He does not really do a good job with female characters, to my own way of thinking, but the story of the series is compelling. "
— Barbara, 7/15/2013 -
" I'm finding these books strangely addicting. It's nice to make believe that they're telling the truth about the general themes of the army (and I think they are). The stories are well written and engaging. On to the next one... "
— Matt, 5/7/2013 -
" For a fiction book, it is a pretty accurate military read. "
— Jared, 5/1/2013 -
" A fun, quick read.. Great for airplane or beach.. "
— Adam, 4/11/2013 -
" I could not wait to get to this book after reading The Lieutenants. And I was not disappointed. Finally in the end I read the book from 2 am until 5 am. I had to finish it. "
— David, 12/16/2012 -
" This was great. I got so into the characters that I feel like I know them well. That doesn't mean I like all the characters personalities, but they are colorful. The plot is interested and kept me engaged. "
— Bryan, 12/10/2012 -
" An excellent series which any new recruit, or Old soldier will find more than worth the time to read. "
— Bill, 12/2/2012 -
