Reviews
All and all, the book is a good, balanced and detailed account of the marine Corps in the Great War, Recommended. * Stand to! *
If you have an interest in the activities of the USMC then this would be a welcome addition to your library, even if your interest is only passing there is more than enough to keep you dipping in and out. * Army Rumour Service *
We simply don't know enough about the US Marine Corps's contribution to the First World War. Authors Gilbert and Cansiere set the records straight with an amazingly detailed account of the American Expeditionary Force at Belleau Wood in 1918. * Books Monthly *
There is much here to tempt both the wargamer and the military historian. * Miniature Wargames - Chris Jarvis *
