Riassunto:

Making the Corps visits the front lines of boot camp, Parris Island, South Carolina. Here, old values are stripped away and new, Marine Corps values are forged. Acclaimed military journalist Thomas E. Ricks follows these men from their hometowns, through boot camp, and into their first year as Marines. As three fierce drill instructors fight a battle for the hearts and minds of this unforgettable group of young men, a larger picture emerges, brilliantly painted, of the growing gulf that divides the military from the rest of America.

Informazioni sull?autore: Thomas Ricks, the Pentagon correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and won a Society of Professional Journalists Award for best feature reporting for his writing on the Marine Corps. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
