Book Reviews of Into the Crucible
Book Review: Into The Crucible: Making Marines For the 21st Century
Summary: 5 Stars
First off - to the reviewer dated October 12, 2000 - sure you completed The Crucible in '97 and supervised it in '99 - A Marine wannabe, for sure. This is an EXCELLENT book that outlines The Crucible, the culmination of Marine Corps boot camp. Provides a detailed history of events that gives rational to the specific events or stations of the design of the Crucible. Also allows us to appreciate more the recruits who have earned the title "Marine." A must read for anyone who has a loved one in boot camp, earned the title of Marine, or future recruits. Easy reading, factual and very informative. Gives confirmation to the quote above the Welcome Doors of Parris Island: "Through These Portals Pass Prospect's For America's Finest Fighting Force - United States Marines." In light of the conflict going on in Iraq, people who review and make ridiculous comments (those who probably never even read the book!) should be thankful that men and women of the USMC and other prestigious branches of the military are laying their lives down everyday, so that they can sit in the comfort of their home and express their opinions freely, and without consequence. This is a great book for those interested in this particular phase of boot camp and with a brief overview, the (in an indroductive sense) history of the USMC. I highly recommend this!
Summary of Into the Crucible
This book describes the 54 hour exercise in which recruits are put through a series of taxing challenges whilst being denied sufficient food or sleep. Woulfe compares this training exercise with other schemes in other branches of service.'Naval Books
