The Double Agents

As usual, W.E.B. Griffin, along with William Butterworth IV, has given the readers another enthralling war novel.


Sins of the son.

It is evident that WEB Griffin's son is writing more of the story of this novel. The action is not a crisp and the narrative drags at times.

W.E.B. Griffin with little known history

W.E.B. Griffin has created another novel that incorporates seldom known facts, i.e. World War II German use of biochemical and germ agents in Sicily. He melds the Mafia with the Italian resistance and the Free French in North Africa seamlessly. I am less impressed with his battering of Dwight Eisenhower, whom Griffin denigrates regarding his cooperation with the British and French, and Ike's mistress/driver. It seems that is a heavy handed attempt at inserting his prejudices into a scenario of germ agents and the Mafia in Sicily, which is gripping enough on it's own. Worth reading with the caveat.
