Publisher's Synopsis
This photo-essay looks at the men, the equipment and the missions of one of the world's most famous military corps. In an age when uncertainty hangs over the mass armies of the Central European front, the US Marines represent the ideal of the type of mobile, self-contained, quick reaction force which will be of greater importance in the future. This book provides a record of the US Marine Corps as one of the world's most lavishly equipped, versatile, battle-proven, all-arms force of professional warriors.
