Eight decades after the end of World War II, we're still learning about the conflict that cost so many lives and changed our world. My new book explores a side of the war that has received little attention. It was a unique combination of news and public relations undertaken by the US Marine Corps, which created a "fighter-writer" to cover the war from the viewpoint of the common Marine and, at the same time, promote the Corps as the service to join if you wanted in on the fight.
