5.0 out of 5 stars
Absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable, November 11, 2008
This review is from: A Few More Marines (Paperback)
As with his first book in this series, A Few Marines, author Wes Hammond's A Few More Marines sweeps the reader along through often unfamiliar currents and eddies of Marine Corps legend and lore. An adroit blend of personal recollections and meticulous historical research, A Few More Marines is the absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable examination of people and events which shaped the USMC during the last century. Humorous, exciting, often heartbreaking, Hammond, a distinguished Marine, extracts the essence of our Corps with a lively march of heroes and rogues, triumphs and blunders, wisdom and "lubberly-ness;" all chronicled with absolute candor and a faithfulness plucked straight from the Marine Corps motto.
Above all, A Few More Marines is an affirmation of the uncompromising code of personal integrity which has made our Corps great. As a former Marine, it reminded me of how proud I am to have earned the privilege of wearing the same uniform as such audacious, steadfast, and honor-bound professionals. Semper fi!
