In 1775, at Philadelphia’s Tun Tavern, the United States Marine Corps was born. It has been a proud defender of American freedom ever since. With photographs of historic missions and stunning new shots of Marines in action today, USMC gives readers a feel for what it truly means to be a Marine. These select few make up a tightly knit fighting force that can strike at lightning speed with massive, overwhelming power whenever duty calls. From training to planning to fighting, America’s “soldiers of the sea” do whatever it takes to accomplish their missions with an esprit de corps that helps make them second to no other fighting unit in the world. USMC highlights the discipline, loyalty, enthusiasm, and poise that distinguish each Marine and give the entire Corps unmatched power and cohesion.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome Book!,
By David Gideon "D Gideon" (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: USMC (Military Power) (Paperback)
Great book that gives a clear, concise picture of the Marine Corps and its role in today's national defense. Especially liked the up-to-date information on Iraq and Afghanistan. Great photos!
My only complaint is that there was too much focus on Iraq, and wish there was more about the Marines in Afghanistan.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book, worth your time!,
