USMC Stories

While I have not yet finished reading this book,I have found it to contain very interesting stories. Aside from the Marine Corps aspect, the basic historical areas are worthwhile.

This book is a "MUST READ" for Marine Corps enthusiasts. It covers USMC history from Presley O'Bannon and the "Shores of Tripoli" to the "Halls of Montezuma" and up to Kuwait and Iraq. They are GREAT stories, well told, and well documented. A hearty recommendation.

This is a great book for anyone interested in military history, and the Marine Corps in particular. You'll want all three titles. Donald K. Allen, DVM author, "Tarawa - the Aftermath"
