In November 1964, Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara went to the Congo with two hundred men, intent on making it his first step in taking over Africa and South America. He failed, thanks in large part to the efforts of an intrepid band of Green Berets. Licking his wounds, he retreated to Cuba to recruit more men and try the same thing in Bolivia. He failed there, too. In fact, he died there, and thus, despite his incompetence, became a glorious martyr to the cause. But who was trying to kill him, really - and who was trying to keep him alive?
The brotherhood is back - Craig Lowell, Sandy Felter, Jack Portet, Geoff Craig, Robert Bellmon, George Washington "Father" Lunsford, Master Sergeant Doubting Thomas - and their mission has never been more dramatic and deadly.
"Strongly reminiscent of modern American military classics From Here to Eternity and The Winds of War.… An intricately layered, epic novel." (Publishers Weekly)

The Congo & Che Guevara
- Jean
Too much recycled material, almost no action
The individual characters were good, too bad they do almost nothing but talk and drink.
This book has a lot of verbatim recycled material from previous book(s) in series. Not just background to get you up on the story, but literally same situations and incidents told again word by word so you have to listen through paragraphs and pages that you just heard in the previous volume or two, already knowing how it turns out. It really seems like someone else took the author's notes and previous books and hacked together an extended version of previous book, adding a few more characters and more talking and drinking, but really no action. Same problem with lots of technical errors as previous books in series.
Pretty good reader/performer so he helped.
NO!!! Unless the author will actually start with new material completely and have someone that knows a little about weapons, radios and aircraft proof the manuscript, there is no point in continuing this soap opera.
Really sad to see these last couple of books, "The Aviators" and "Special Ops" kludged together from scenes and notes probably edited out of previous books. They could have been done well, but feel more like sausage or bologna made from the sweepings.
