Reviews"The book is a joy for the eyes because it combines beautiful images and excellent narration of the history of the Marines, from its beginnings in the War of Independence through the nineteenth century in which it struggled to find a 'raison d'etre' until obtaining the charisma and fame it still enjoys today, with the wars of the early 1900s, the Great War, the great sacrifice of the Second World War and then the modern conflicts. This is another book on the Marine Corps that cannot be missing in your collection." --On the Old Barbed Wire

SynopsisCombines a lively, well-researched narrative with a generous selection of illustrations, many in color, and numerous maps to provide a topically and chronologically balanced history of the U.S. Marine Corps from its inception to the present day. The books details how and why a force that throughout the first century of its existence seldom exceeded the strength of an infantry regiment eventually attained a strength greater than that of many armies., This book combines a lively, well-researched narrative with a generous selection of illustrations, many in color, and numerous maps to provide a topically and chronologically balanced history of the U.S. Marine Corps from its inception to the present day. The combination of a wealth of art, a substantial text, and a balanced perspective make the work unique in the literature of the Corps. Many of its illustrations have never before been published or have appeared only in black and white. The history of the Marine Corps is one of the greatest military success stories of all time. The books details how and why a force that throughout the first century of its existence seldom exceeded the strength of an infantry regiment eventually attained a strength greater than that of many armies and developed what is arguably the world's most potent military mystique. Because the history of any institution is the product of the actions of the individuals who comprise it, we have included cameos of some of the individuals who made exceptional contributions to the Corps' rich heritage.

Excellent work for everyone who is interested on the U.S Marine Corps history through the years
Couldn't be a better history of the U.S Marine Corps.The reason it is that it has been writen from Lt.Col Bartlett a former Marine and obviously a man who knew facts from the inside and has lived too many of these facts.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
