About this title

Review:

"Griffin captures the smell of the smoke of battle as vividly as if one were on the beach at Guadalcanal". -- The Philadelphia Inquirer

From the Back Cover:

BEHIND THE LINES is W.E.B. Griffin's powerful novel of World War II -- and the courage, patriotism, and sacrifice of those who fought it. By 1942, the Japanese have routed the outnumbered American forces and conquered the Philippines. But deep in the island jungles, the combat continues. Refusing to surrender, a renegade Army officer organizes a resistance force and vows to fight to the last man. A Marine leads his team on a mission through the heart of enemy territory. And a nation's proudest sons fight uncelebrated battles that will win -- or lose -- the war...

Captured in the hour of their greatest glory, THE CORPS is a tribute to the heroes we call Marines. Their story is the story of America.
