Secret Honor by W. E. B. Griffin

Here is another author who has always kept my interest. I particularly liked his series on Philadelphia. I am familiar with the setting and recognize many of the situations. His military series could be written from a template due to their similarity of style. Since I enjoy the books apparently that doesn’t bother me. This story takes place primarily in Argentina during WWII. The OSS, the SS and the good old USA are all represented. Griffin does a good job of showing that there are many shades of gray. There are coal black SS officers and practically white German officers. I think it is important to consider in today’s world of anger and jihad that those who make the most ugly noise are not always representative of their religion or ethnicity. It is too easy to vilify and stereotype when fear and anger run rampant. Griffin makes it clear in his stories that the “wrong” side of a conflict can have good people overwhelmed by circumstances. Once again, a good story and I recommend reading it.
