First edition. Octavo. 555pp. Introduction by Eric Partridge. Neat military-themed bookplate of Marine historian Henry I. Shaw, Jr. on front endpaper, light binding wear, offsetting in the gutters of the endpapers, textblock edge faintly soiled, a solid very good copy. Inscribed by a contributing editor, military historian Rowland P. Gill, to (Henry I.) "Bud" Shaw, the first chief historian of the U.S. Marine Corps and the author or editor of several of its official histories of operations in World War II and Vietnam (from *The Washington Post*). "To 'Bud' Shaw, good friend, author, + top-notch historian and one man who has seen most of these before." A nice association between two military historians.
