Description from back cover:
"The Pride of the U.S. Armed Forces
On land, in the air, and at sea, the U.S. Marines are at the top of the military line. They are a unique breed -- thoroughbred American warriors who have fought with distinction and valor around the world.
Here, in the first volume in the Villard Military Series, is the history and tradition of the proud and powerful Marine Corps. Here is the rigorous training that transforms raw recruits into America's fighting elite. Here is the state-of-the-art weaponry that makes the Marine Corps a global military force. And here, covered in detail and in depth, are the brilliant battles they have waged in the modern era, from the landings at Inchon in Korea to the siege of Khe Sanh in Vietnam to the lightning quick assault on Grenada in the Caribbean. Both full-color and black-and-white illustrations throughout take you onto the field and into combat with the Marines."
