Synopsis:
Preparing for Victory explains how and why Commandant Thomas Holcomb successfully supervised the expansion of the Marine Corps from 18,000 officers and men in 1936 to 385,000 in 1943. Not only did Holcomb leave the Corps much larger, but he also helped establish it as the United States' premier amphibious assault force.
