Together these books provide the definitive history of the USMC's tank forces...Very highly recommended., In order to produce this fine book, the author has conducted extensive interviews with participants and consulted archival and published materials.

Highly recommended.", If you're interested in The Korean War, Tanks, or the US Marine Corps, this is an interesting book on an interesting subject that should give you some hours of entertainment, and remain on hand as a reference for the modeller or historian. Korea has for too long been called the forgotten war, and these USMC tankers probably forgotten more than most. Highly Recommended., History's stories told in this unusual, veteran' voices format, alongside interesting archive photography leaves a lasting impression of what it might have been like to serve as a marine in this bitter and protracted war.
