Brotherhood Of War (novel Series)
The Brotherhood of War is a series of novels written by W. E. B. Griffin about the United States Army from the Second World War through the Vietnam War. The story centers around the careers of four U.S. Army officers who were lieutenants in the early 1940s. The series is notable for the amount of attention it does not devote to combat—rather than skipping forward, it follows the main characters though their peacetime service as the Army evolves in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the development of Army Aviation and the Special Forces.

Famous quotes containing the words brotherhood and/or war:
“It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“But is an enemy so execrable that tho in captivity his wishes and comforts are to be disregarded and even crossed? I think not. It is for the benefit of mankind to mitigate the horrors of war as much as possible.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
