Paperback. Condition: New. Fifth Edition. Fully revised, this volume serves as the definitive history of the United States Marines, from their inception in 1775 through all major engagements in the World Wars, the Cold War, and into the wars in the Middle East in the twenty-first century.Conceived amidst uncertainty in November…1775, the United States Marine Corps has grown from a small group of Continental Marines into one of the most formidable military forces in the world. This fully revised fifth edition provides a comprehensive history of the Corps that spans 250 years, including two new chapters on twenty-first-century operations. From its first amphibious landing at New Providence, Bahamas, in 1776 to its most recent major conflicts in Afghanistan, this book captures the Corps' enduring legacy of excellence on the battlefield and its unique culture within the Department of the Navy.The authors focus on the major wars that have defined the Marine Corps, including the American Revolution, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the modern-day battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to these large-scale conflicts, the book explores smaller campaigns, punitive expeditions, humanitarian missions, and peacekeeping operations that have shaped the Corps' identity. It also examines the Corps' intermittent struggles for survival at home, where it has faced challenges from other branches of the military and occasionally from unfriendly presidents. Written by former Marines for current Marines, this edition is a ready reference for readers seeking to understand the operational and institutional history of the Marine Corps from its humble beginnings to its role as a vital force in modern warfare.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xxv, [1], 296, [6] pages. Includes a List of Maps, Foreword by Col. Allan R. Millett, USMCR (Ret.), Preface and Acknowledgments, Prologue: Les Mares Farm, Northern France, June 3, 1918; Epilogue, Appendix: Medals of Honor Awarded; Notes,…Bibliography, and Index. Also includes 14 black and white maps in the text. Edwin Howard Simmons (August 25, 1921 - May 5, 2007) was a United States Marine Corps brigadier general. He was a career officer who served in combat during three wars - including landing at Inchon and fighting at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. He was renowned as the official Marine Corps historian, being called "the collective memory of the Marine Corps". His 1974 book The United States Marines: A History is a seminal reference text. Joseph H. Alexander (January 24, 1938 - September 28, 2014) was a retired Colonel of the United States Marine Corps and a historian. Joseph Hammond Alexander obtained master's degrees in history and national defense from North Carolina, Georgetown and Jacksonville Universities. He was also a graduate from the Naval War College. Joseph Alexander served in the Marine Corps for 29 years. He had been in command of a company during his time in Vietnam and then a battalion in Okinawa. He later served in amphibious ships at sea for five years. By the time he reached the rank of Colonel, he was Chief of Staff to the 3rd Marine Division. When he retired, he worked with Lou Reda Productions as chief historian and scriptwriter for their documentaries, which were aired on the History Channel of the Arts and Entertainment Network. U.S. Marine participation in World War I is known as a defining moment in the Marine Corps' great history. It is a story of exceptional heroism and significant operational achievements, along with lessons learned the hard way. The Marines entered World War I as a small force of seagoing light infantry that had rarely faced a well-armed enemy. On a single June day, in their initial assault "through the wheat" on Belleau Wood against German machine-guns and poison gas shells, the Marines suffered more casualties than they had experienced in all their previous 142 years. Yet at Belleau Wood, Soissons, BlancMont, St. Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne the Marines proved themselves to be hard-nosed diehards with an affinity for close combat. Nearly a century later Belleau Wood still resonates as a touchstone battle of the Corps. Two retired Marines, well known for their achievements both in uniform and with the pen, have recorded this rich history in a way that only insiders can. Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Simmons and Col. Joseph H. Alexander recount events and colorful personalities in telling detail, capturing the spirit that earned the 4th Marine Brigade three awards of the French Croix de Guerre and launched the first pioneering detachments of "Flying Leathernecks." Here, hand-to-hand combat seen through the lenses of a gas mask is accompanied by thought-provoking assessments of the war's impact on the Marine Corps.
