⭐ While I generally like Harold Coyle’s writing, this is not his best work. It’s not bad, and it is topical, but it could have been better.He spends a great deal of time impressing upon the readers the different thinking of National Guard troops compared to regular and reservists. Don’t get me wrong, he does an excellent job at this, but he could have reduced the number of times he brings up the subject.My second complaint is that nothing really happens until 3/4 of the way through the book. Harold needs to go back and read his own book, Team Yankee, which is probably the finest of the cold-war era military novels, better than Clancy. In that book, things start happening with a few pages, and the action never stops. Here, not so much, as the current hip phrase goes.Lastly, the book stops, it does not end. Most books come to a well-written ending that wraps up the story. This books just stops. It tries to end, but fails miserably.I think Harold really needs a new editor.

⭐ Realistic story line with insight into the life in National Guard folks. A military story with the flavor of today’s part-time soldiers.

⭐ Good read. Timely plot line

⭐ Have not read it yet

⭐ I’ve been a keen and admiring reader of HC for several years.His ability to create powerful military tales is outstanding.’They are Soldiers’is a real disappointment. HC’s understanding of the complex dynamics of the Mid East is surprisingly poor and he creates comic book characters (a senior Mossad agent who uses phrases like “he won’t be playing the violin again” after interrogating a palestinian suspected of biochem warfare – come on Harold, do your research; Shin Bet do the interrogations and Israel has returned so many palestinian prisoners each year without any suggestion of torture since 1985. And a Hamas/PLA biochem warfare lab under a Crusader castle in Israel? Get real!

⭐ Harold Coyle… need I say more

⭐ So glad to see a Harold Coyle book out. He is the best of the best at telling a story and this story is terrific. The problem is that it would make a great short story for a magazine not a hardcover book. There is one small scale battle in the entire book that takes a few pages to tell; the rest covers the tedious details.It’s a great story but not at the hardcover price.C’mon Harold!

⭐ Excellent book, Coyle is an exceptional author, with his military background he is able to weave fiction with fact.

⭐ came on time, great gift idea, loved the product, wonderful service, nice to have around when you need good read

⭐ They Are Soldiers by Harold Coyle I don’t think I have enjoyed a thriller as much as I enjoyed ‘They Are Soldiers’ since the last Daniel Silva book I read. I fell into the story at once and felt very comfortable there, spending time with Nathan Dixon, a young Army Captain and his company of National Guardsmen. We know about cop books that we call ‘police procedural’, that is books that focus on the methods used by the police to do their jobs, step by step until they capture the bad guy. Here we have a step by step telling of how a Guard company must journey from the state of readiness of a part time outfit to a level that at least aspires to mimic the expertise of the regulars. Of course the Guardsmen are Americans, so we know that they will act in a properly heroic manner no matter what the state of their training might be. The story takes the part time soldiers from the hills of Virginia to a mythical situation on the border between Israel and a newly independent Palestine. We explore the motivations of a terrorist gang, we learn about the lives of the part time troops and even get a peek into the Israeli troops and citizens. The very well told story held my attention not because it had a series of cliff hangers and exciting text. It held my interest because of the skill in which it was told. And there is enough excitement, danger and shooting to satisfy.
