About this title

Synopsis

Tells the stories of Marines in combat during World War II and Vietnam, looks at Marine boot camp, and describes various administrative attempts to end the Marine Corps

Review

First to Fight makes for wonderful reading. It is fast paced; often stirring; always informed, interesting, and enlightening. Marines will zip through it, delight in it, and wish it was far longer. -- Marine Corps Gazette

A fascinating combination of memoir and study of the U.S. Marine Corps. -- Booklist

General Krulak's skills as a journalist enhance the telling of his tales surrounding the Corps's history...his personal recollections add immeasurably to the book's quality. --National Defense
