On November 10, 1775, the Continental Congress approved a resolution for the organization of the Corps, creating what would become the Marines, a heroic group of men and women who put their lives on the line in far-flung places around the globe.

Here are ten unforgettable stories on the courage of America's finest fighting force. These visceral accounts have one thing in common: heroism in its purest form. You will find in this eminently readable collection stories of Marines at Belleau Wood in France during World War I, and on to breathtaking and heartbreaking action on Iwo Jima. Here also are Marines making a surprise amphibious landing at the strategic port of Inchon during the Korean War, besieged Marines at Khe Sanh in Vietnam under attack for six months, and unsung heroes in unknown battles from the First Gulf War to Marine snipers in Haiti, Somalia, and Afghanistan.

This riveting collection brings out in wrenching detail why Admiral Chester Nimitz described the Marines at the Battle of Iwo Jima thusly: "Uncommon valor was a common virtue." Riveting and inspiring, Great American Marine Corps Stories is a must-read for historians, Marines, and lovers of adventure.
