Description
"History of the US Marines" tells the whole dramatic story of the Corps and its battles from its earliest actions against the British through Indian wars at home and campaigns abroad against Mexicans and Spanish, to the two world wars of this century and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts which followed.
The Marines have not always been uniformly successful, as the bitter experience in Vietnam shows, but there have been few occasions indeed when the Marines' "few good men" have not lived up to their mottos "Semper Fidelis" (always faithful). The exciting history of this elite branch of the US armed forces is authoritatively recounted by Jack Murphy and accompanied by many fine historical photographs and illustrations which make this a book no military buff could want to be without.
