The Saboteurs (Men at War) - Hardcover

W. E. B. Griffin is also the author of the bestselling Corps, Brotherhood of War, Badge of Honor, Men at War, and Honor Bound series. He has been invested into the orders of St. George of the U.S. Armor Association and St. Andrew of the U.S. Army Aviation Association, and is a life member of the U.S. Special Operations Association; Gaston-Lee Post 5660, Veterans of Foreign Wars; China Post #1 in Exile of the American Legion; and the Police Chiefs Association of Southeast Pennsylvania, South New Jersey, and Delaware. He is an honorary life member of the U.S. Army Otter & Caribou Association, the U.S. Army Special Forces Association, the U.S. Marine Corps Raider Association, and the USMC Combat Correspondents Association.

WWII serves as the backdrop as the Men at War series continues with Dick Canidy and his crew fighting the Axis on U.S. soil and abroad. They get some unlikely help from the Mafia. James Naughton jumps between story lines wonderfully, giving personas to the American crew, Italian-born immigrants, and German saboteurs. Plot lines wind in and out, bombs blast, and Naughton doesn't miss a step. Background music and sounds mostly add to the segues, though sometimes can be a bit distracting. An abrupt ending in this abridgment leaves the listener pondering a few points, but it doesn't mar the overall story, character development, or Naughton's fine reading.
