IF the author said that the marines did this, they did it as far as im concerned. I personally liked the book, even if there were a few inaccuracies, which were made to make the book and the marines more interesting. On the whole though, this is a good book on Marine Corps history, even if it is a little old.
A great book on the Corps. Lots of info

This is a great book on the Corps. It talks about history and operations, and has a great section on the officer corps of the Marine Corps. Describes OCS and TBS quite well and describes an officer's typical career pattern. This was one of my first Marine Corps books and I still enjoy reading it.
