Synopsis

The spectacular new book in New York Times-bestselling author W.E.B. Griffin's Honor Bound saga of World War II espionage. Wars come to an end. But then new ones begin. Just weeks after Hitler's suicide, Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS find themselves up to their necks in battles every bit as fierce as the ones just ended. The first is political-the very survival of the OSS, with every department from Treasury to War to the FBI grabbing for its covert agents and assets. The second is on a much grander scale-the possible next world war, against Joe Stalin and his voracious ambitions. To get a jump on the latter, Frade has been conducting a secret operation, one of great daring-and great danger-but to conduct it and not be discovered, he and his men must walk a perilously dark line. One slip, and everyone becomes a casualty of war.

Goodreads review by Jeff on July 13, 2019

A post WWII adventure story of the OSS. This is part of a series. The story concerns the OSS flying good Nazis out of Germany into Argentina while trying to stop bad Nazis. There is very little action in this tale. It is an interesting concept, but not really developed very well. The book is okay, b......more

This eagerly awaited addition to the Honor Bound series was a disappointment, as have most of the books where WEB Griffin's son was listed as co-author. The best I can say is that it was okay. Sadly, the son may be a decent author, but he's not the man to fill is father's footsteps.......more

Goodreads review by Stuart on January 16, 2013

While I like the author’s Argentina “Honor” series very much overall, the story lines have gotten pretty thin and it’s probably time to put the old girl to rest. Victory and Honor is #6 in the series about O.S.S. operations in WWII South America. While the war ended sometime in #5, for some reason,......more

Well written. Extremely well researched. And a lot less wordy than too many of his books have been lately. I'd recommend this series.......more

Goodreads review by Kurt on November 06, 2011

I think the Honor Bound series is my favorite Griffin world. "Victory and Honor," though enjoyable, is far from the best. We've jumped forward in time a bit from the last book, and find the war in Europe over. More Nazi's (both good and bad) are trying to escape to South America, and our hero Frade......more
