The U.S. Marine Corps has fought in every Amer. war since 1775. This is the first totally independent history of this elite corps whose motto is “First to Fight”. Every major conflict & intervention from the beginning of World War I to the present day is vividly recounted -- the storming of Tarawa beach; the frozen retreat from the Chosin Reservoir; the assault on Belleau Wood; & guerilla combat from Nicaragua to Vietnam. An introduction gives the full background, tracing the development of the U.S. Marine Corps & its role in the early years of Amer. history. This 3rd revised edition follows the history of the corps through the first Gulf War. It includes a wealth of documentation & reference material, an extensive bibliography, & over 100 photos & maps.
