About this listen

 James A. Warren's battle-driven history shows how this elite culture has produced the best warriors in the country, through six decades, several open wars, and many smaller interventions. From their heroic performance in the Pacific War, against Japanese troops on god-forsaken islands, to their "tip-of-the-lance" leadership in key operations in the two Gulf Wars, the Marines have proven again and again that elite men with elite training are worth entire armies.

This is the first modern history of the Marines in a generation and the first to show how battlefield performance has driven the Marines from the Cold War to the war on terror.

well worth a listen

I learned a lot about battlefield tactics and the on the ground realities of these historical wars and just how messy it is. It was good to hear some history I was party to at the time, some recent wars. Doesn’t really tell you what is unique to Marines as soldiers.
