Fix Bayonets! (Classics of Naval Literature) by John W. Thomason The classic tale of Marines in WWI, May 19, 2000 | Reviewer: Jim from Bisbee, Arizona -- I found an old copy of this book years ago, when there was very little to be found on the USMC in WWI, I am glad to hear it is being published again at this time. My interest in that subject stems from the fact that my Grandfather & his twin brother served in the 5th Marines in WWI.

Strong Men Armed: The United States Marines Against Japan by Robert Leckie The Master of American Wars, April 8, 2002 Reviewer: Mark A Grubbs from Benton, KY United States -- Robert Leckie is the best author I have ever seen detailing the wars in U.S. History. This book is another great story detailing the Marines struggle against the Empire of Japan. Because Mr. Leckie was a participant, this offering provides greater detail of the battles than most of his books. He really gives good descriptions of the people and places where the battles were fought and the courage of the Marines and Japanese as they were locked in a life or death struggle. This is an excellent book on the ground war in the Pacific.
