Summary: Fascinating
Comment: This is an interesting book filled with tons of information about the corps that could keep you occupied for hours. For marines or marine hopefuls, this complilation can provide some interesting history or bizarre information about the greatest military force in the world, that will both fascinate and entertain.
Rating: 5
Summary: Interesting
Comment: This is an amazing book of statistics! Some poor guy locked himself in a small, windowless room with records dating up to before the founding of the Marine Corps -for who knows how long- and compiled this behemoth. It contains countless statistics, lists, and enough bizarre, useless information to keep you entertained for hours. Of course, most of this information is completely useless, but still fascinating. I would recommend it for anyone with entirely too much time on their hands.

Summary: This book is a valuable reference source on the Marine Corps
Comment: If you are in the market for a reference source for almost anything related to the U. S. Marine Corps, this book is for you. It covers the Corps from its founding up through the Gulf War. The scope of the book is vast, including everything from organization, battles, famous characters, slang, medal of honor winners etc. Some of the lists are subjective, such as the 10 most influential Marines of all time, but most of the information provided is factual in nature. Some famous myths are disputed in the book as well. I would have liked to have seen a list of former Marines who became executives in industry, but this was the one list not in the book. One of the more off-beat pieces of information is a brief list of prominent people who were Marines but aren't the first to come to mind when thinking of former Marines. Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans clearly fit into this category. In sum, this book is more useful as a reference source than as a book to read for pleasure.
