Lee E Russell utilises his expert knowledge to guide us through the post-WWII history of the Marines, chronicling their involvement in Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon and Grenada.The account includes such remarkable exploits as the siege of Khe Sanh during the Vietnam conflict and the gruelling Chosin Reservoir campaign, which proved a supreme test of courage and discipline. Here, the Marines were isolated and overwhelmingly outnumbered in an unhospitable terrain where temperatures reached as low as -35F at night, yet they nevertheless emerged unbeaten.Illustrated throughout, this volume providing a comprehensive overview of the history, organisation, appearance and equipment of these famous troops.
