Description
Behind the Lines by W.E.B. Griffin is a powerful novel of World War II that explores the courage and sacrifice of those who fought it. In 1942, the Japanese have conquered the Philippines, but deep in the island's jungles, resistance continues. A renegade Army officer organizes a fight to the last man, while a Marine leads his team on a perilous mission through enemy territory. The story is one of uncelebrated battles that will win or lose the war, and it is a tribute to the heroes who fought for their country. Their story is the story of America, a testament to the bravery and patriotism of those who served in the Corps.
