[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a quick and dirty version of Marine Corps History. Lots of great illustrations. I would recommend this book for any young person wanting to join the Marines. I cant remember how many times I had to repeat Dan Daily the winner of two Medal of Honors. Or Chesty Pulller the winner of 5 Navy Crosses.
