KRULAK : First to fight (ajánló)
They're the symbol of military excellence, a corps that has turned generations of soft young Americans into "leathernecks" for over 200 years. Yet the Marines, with their singular, almost mystical, nature have been this country's most embattled military service, heroes in the trenches facing the greatest threat to their survival from the military establishment and the U.S. government itself. In this riveting inside chronicle, legendary Marine General "Brute" Krulak submits an unprecedented examination of the Marines, their fights on the battlefield and off, and their extraordinary esprit de corps. Deftly blending history with autobiography, action with analysis, and separating fact from fable, General Krulak touches the very essence of the Corps, what it means to be a Marine, the reasons for the Marines' consistently outstanding performance and reputation—and why the Corps continues to survive and flourish despite overwhelming political odds. With its depth, breadth, insight and candor, FIRST TO FIGHT is a major addition to the annals of military history.
