Send in the Marines

This work is a battle history of every ground unit of the US Marine Corps from 1775 to 1991. It covers all sizes of units from the small embassy guards that found themselves under attack to the corps sized units such as the VMAC, which controlled the battle for Iwo Jima. It covers the entire war history of the marines on land from the Revolutionary War, through the Mexican War, Civil War, World War I, the Banana Wars, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War, including the Shores of Tripoli and the Halls of Montezuma. Many small conflicts are also included from anti-pirate operations to riot duty in countless cities around the world. This is a must for anyone connected to the corps, and for anyone interested in the actual events of history detail by detail.
