W.E.B. Griffin

While working as the Chief of Publications at Fort Rucker, Griffin started writing his first three novels, all of which become successful and was sold quickly. This led him to pursue his writing career full-time, leaving his job as Chief of Publications. On 1982, he released The Lieutenants, the first in the “Brotherhood-of-War” series.

The best place to start is the M*A*S*H series, the earliest of W.E.B. Griffin's multi-book series: it opens with M*A*S*H (1968) and runs to 15 books across 1968–1977, ending with M*A*S*H Mania (1977). W.E.B. Griffin's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.

W.E.B. Griffin has 199 books catalogued in this guide, published between 1960 and 2025. 129 of them belong to 11 named series — the largest being the Christina Van Bell series with 49 books — and 70 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.

Read each series in publication order — the numbered entries in each series follow the year each book first appeared. W.E.B. Griffin's series do not depend on one another, so they can be started in any order; by start date they are Webb Beech Short Stories/Novellas (1960, 1 book), Tony Fletcher (1965, 1 book) and M*A*S*H (1968–1977, 15 books), plus 8 more.
