The Saboteurs (Men at War Series)

This one is just about the best so far of the series I've been reading Griffin for many years; I just realized this series was available on kindle and I am working through the series. This one is just about the best so far of the series. Yes, the writing is a bit hackneyed - it's brain candy. But the story, even as improbable as it is,moves quickly . "DURING WAR- BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW THAN THE STRANGER YOU DON'T .the enemy of my enemy isn't always a friend" according to Roberta Williams. As I read this book, it seemed like the general theme was the fight between the OSS and the FBI, rather than about Sabateurs. A good part of the story centered on the connections between the Mafia and the FBI and the Mafia's connection to the Mediterranean which would be important in the next book. Saboteured by Detriments William Lotz This novel is a story about the O S S (Office of Strategic Services (predecessor to the C I A) and one of its most important agents, U S Army Major Richard Canidy who, with various O S S associates,the FBI and members of the Mafia, travel over most of Europe and the U. S. on missions to find and k

supply ships. Ships are burning at their moorings in U.S. 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 onceand fate is just about to deal them a few surprises.. Packs of German U-boats are hunting and sinking 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. 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

This is pretty much all show and no go, but readers who have a strong interest in WWII home-front history should be satisfied. The German saboteurs are eventually dealt with, but the behind-the-lines Sicilian operation led by Canidy is only hastily outlined after a long buildup. William J.
