The Lieutenants

When Joe recommended this book, I didn't want to read it because I thought it was another historical fiction book about war. This book is not about war at all, but about the characters Griffin masterfully creates. This book made me laugh nightly because of how it pokes fun of the military. If you've ever served, you've met people like these guys in the military, and you've been in similar situations as what they face. My favorite character is Lowell, a snot-nosed rich kid who gets kicked out of West Point only to get himself commissioned as an officer because a General wants him on his polo team! Lowell ends up becoming the rebelious, daring , and combat savvy hero of Greece post-WWII at age 19. Griffin's descriptions of Lowell at Officer functions, and interacting with "desk officers" is classic. I can't wait to read "Captains"!
