About this title

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
