When Baltimore Police Sergeant Wayne Jenkins said he had a monster, he meant he had found a big-time drug dealer - one who he wanted to rob. This is the story of Jenkins and the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), a super group of dirty detectives who exploited some of America’s greatest problems: guns, drugs, toxic masculinity, and hypersegregation. In the upside-down world of the GTTF, cops were robbers and drug dealers were the perfect victims, because no one believed them.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in WWII. I have read/listened to many of W E B Griffin's military books and have loved them all. This one is right up there in his style of building a story around a number of different characters in different phases of the War and keeping the listener interested in all of them. Looking forward to downloading more from this series.
What other book might you compare Battleground to and why?
All of his WWII, Korean and after books are quite interesting and enjoyable to listen to
Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?
Capt Pickerin is a favorite in many of these books. Killer McCoy didn't have a big role in this book but he is a favorite of mine.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not a laughing or crying type book but when some of the regular characters are lost in the war, I feel like I've lost a friend.
Any additional comments?
Read all of this series, you will enjoy it.
