They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

Two armed men board a 727 that has been all but forgotten at an airfield in Angola. Hijacking the jet, they then slit the throat of the lone crew and fly to parts unknown. The consternation is immediate, as the CIA, FBI, and other agencies race to find out what happened, in the process elbowing one another in the sides a little too vigorously. Fed up, the president of the United States turns to an outside investigator to determine the truth.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
In the first weeks after World War II, a squeaky-clean new second lieutenant named James D. Cronley Jr. is spotted and recruited for a new enterprise that will eventually be transformed into something called the CIA. One war may have ended, but another one has already begun, against an enemy that is bigger, smarter, and more vicious: The Soviet Union. The Soviets have hit the ground running, and Cronley's job is to help frustrate them, harass them, and spy on them any way he can.

Why American Marines Are Without Peer
What made the experience of listening to Battleground the most enjoyable?
This book continues the excellent merging of the fabulous writing of WEB Griffin and the outstanding narration of Dick Hill. Whenever I listen to The Corps series, I always pull up the maps of the region whre the fighting is described and follow along with the narration. This combination brings the story alive.
What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Dick renders the characters in the story believable and adds the appropriate emotion and voice inflection that makes listening to the story fun.A good narrator makes a good book fun. A great narrator makes a great book memorable and brings the listener back again and again.

Rehash of previous book
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
As a stand-alone book in the series, it is a fine story. However, if you read the Corps series, this is pretty much a rehash of the previous book -- Counterattack. Much of the dialog is similar, even repeated.
Would you be willing to try another book from W. E. B. Griffin? Why or why not?
Yes. I like most of the Griffin series.
Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, much of his material sounds the same. :)
Any additional comments?
Not bad overall. But, a disappointment because of the rehash.

Great
With our country failing, the story connects to my brotherhood of the United States Marine Corps (USMC 1966-70).
Thanks

Excellent presentation!
Having read “The Corps” series several times, I am pleased to be able to listen to it. The recitation is superb and equal to W E B Griffin quality. I will continue to purchase subsequent volumes to complete the series.
Well done!

Well done! I read the book years ago, but I really enjoy hearing it with the story teller’s interpretation of the characters.

Too much rehashing
Dunno if the author was running short on material or what, but half of the book is taken up with retelling other parts of the series over and over.
