Book Review: First to Fight
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book on the Marine Corps. This book is on the required reading list for active duty Marines. The author reviews a number of Marine Corps "touch stone" battles from all conflicts and wars. If you read one book about Marine Corps history this should be it.
Summary of First to Fight: An Inside View of the U.S. Marine Corps (Bluejacket Books)
Deftly blending history with autobiography, action with analysis, the legendary Marine general Victor "Brute" Krulak offers here a riveting insider's chronicle of U.S. Marines--their fights on the battlefield and off, and their extraordinary esprit de corps. He not only takes a close look at the Marine experience during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam--wars in which Krulak was himself a participant--but also examines the foundation on which the Corps is built. In doing so, he helps answer the question of what it means to be a Marine and how the Corps has maintained such a consistently outstanding reputation. First to Fight has been included on the Marine Corps's recommended reading list for many years.General Books
