Synopsis

Here, for the first time, is a totally independent history of this elite corps whose motto is "First to Fight". This is also the story of men and battles, and of individual courage and special comradeship in the face of danger. Every major conflict and intervention from the beginning of World War I to the present day is vividly and candidly recounted. THE U.S. MARINE CORPS STORY provides a unique perspective of United States foreign policy over the last century and gives new insight into the meaning and uses of American power.
