Review from Goodreads:
Jerome rated it 4 stars and had this to say, "I had two cousins that were in the Marines in Korea. I myself and another cousin joined the Marines in 1954, so this is an interesting topic for me.
As for the book; It has a lot of photographs I have never seen before and is far more detailed than most as it covers the air wing as well as the ground troops of the first Mar. Div. FMF which I later served with."

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Brand new. Pictorial boards (cover photo of Marines scaling the Inchon seawall). Profusely illustrated history of the USMC in the Korean War in ten chapters, each written by a Marine. Covers every phase, from Pusan to Inchon, the move toward the Yalu, the CCF attacks at Changhin and Chosin, Punchbowl, Bunker Hill, the Hook, and chapters on USMC Aviation and helicopters. Numerous maps supplement the text, and with specifics on heroic actions by decorated Marines. Many of the photographs are deeply moving and difficult to forget. The authors pull no punches, as in the description of "well-meaning but bumbling Secretary of the Navy Francis P. Matthews (who).was surprised to learn that Navy personnel met the Marine Corps' medical needs." Outstanding from beginning to end. // Shipped carefully packed in a sturdy box.
