Summary: THE BEST U.S.M.C. book available
Review: As a member of the USMC, DEP (Delayed Entry Program) shipping to Boot Camp in June, I am studying all I can about Marines and the History of the corps. This book is Amazing. Every U.S. MARINE should own a copy. !

Summary: Outstanding!
Review: Despite an aching back, I stood for over an hour this afternoon thumbing through the pages of this book at a local bookstore. It was outstanding. I was a Marine combat correspondent in Vietnam ('67) and saw a number of photos taken by my colleagues, including David Douglas Duncan in Con Thien where I also was. What struck me about "Marines" is the extensive and well balance coverage of the history of the Corps. I found it very amusing the "political correct" comments about several of our controversal commandants. How true. How true. Great work. I came home and immediately ordered this book from Amazon.Semper Fi!

Summary: The definitive book on the Corps!
Review: I am so glad I chose to give this marvelous book as a Father's Day gift. One could simply not go wrong presenting this to any loved one with Corps ties. Whether to purchase as a gift, or for yourself, I can't imagine being disappointed on any level. Historically accurate, and loaded with impressive photgraphs, it's too absorbing to just rest on the coffee table, but it's such a quality book, you'll fret about soiling it. I highly recommend.

Summary: An outstanding history of the Marine Corps
Review: I purchased this book for my father to give to him this Christmas. He is a retired Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps and served his country in World War II, Korea, as well as Vietnam. This volume is an absolutely stunning and moving history of the United States Marine Corps. The rich blue cloth cover with large gold (3-D)Marine Corps emblem on the frontpiece will blow you away....its beautiful. I'm sure my father will cherish this book for a long, long time.

Summary: A Treasure for ALL Marines!
Review: I purchased this book for my husband, for our anniversary. He had, many times, picked up this book at our local bookstore and thumbed through it. The book drew numerous smiles and comments from him. "Hey hun, look at this.." became the regular statement made, while browsing through the pages. Not only did the book offer a throrough history of the Corps, but it brought back endless memories for him. I've enjoyed this just as much as he has! The book is a beautiful presentation of history, wonderful photos, artwork and facts. We've had the book quite some time, and he's still admiring it, learning new things from it..... still smiling as he "looks" through it! In effect, what I have is a Dashing Grunt, who's so happy you'd think it was November 10th. :-) A great book for all.
