Synopsis

If coincidence had thrown these men together in any normal military organization, and if, improbably, they had become buddies there, any commanding officer with enough sense would have broken up the gang as threats to “good military order and discipline.”
But they weren’t in any normal military organization.
They were in the Office of Strategic Services.The Battle of the Atlantic is at its peak. Packs of German U-boats are hunting and sinking U.S. supply ships. Ships are burning at their moorings in U.S. ports, and a series of explosions has afflicted trains and train stations around the country—is it all accidental or is it sabotage? Meanwhile, Allied forces are secretly preparing to invade first Sicily and then Italy, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done beforehand, some with the most unlikely of helping hands. As the war heats up, “Wild Bill” Donovan’s agents—Dick Canidy, Eric Fulmar, Stan Fine, and the rest of the crew, answerable only to Donovan and the president—suddenly find themselves battling on two fronts at once...and fate is just about to deal them a few surprises.

Another fun book in the Men at War series, this is mostly a struggle between FBI and OSS. The Saboteurs by W.E.B. Griffin is the fifth book in this series and even though the pace is somewhat slower in this one it is still great fun. I actually enjoy the fighting between organisations and rivalry be......more

The OSS returns battling on two fronts during WWII. First, they have to find out whether the Nazis are sinking ships just by luck, or by some human agency. They also have to prepare for the invasion of Italy. Not bad, but Griffin just doesn't seem to be for me.......more

Goodreads review by Keith on February 09, 2015

This is the first book in the series I've been disappointed in. Perhaps it was the long interval between when the previous book and this one were written. Perhaps it was the work of the co-author. I don't know, but this one left me a little unsatisfied. I didn't care for all the New York mob intrigu......more

Wartime agents of the OSS continue their fight against the Nazi threat. One problem here involves the capture of two teams of German saboteurs landed by submarine in Florida and who engage in bombings through the South and Southwest and up the East Coast. Also, FDR has brought OSS into the search al......more

The characters are very interesting and you care about them. My only complaint was that some of the previous ch......more
