Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 3rd Edition. Since its somewhat confused beginnings in November 1775 when the Second Continental Congress almost absentmindedly authorized two battalions of American marines, the U.S. Marine Corps has participated in all the nation's wars from the American Revolution t…hrough Desert Storm. This compact yet complete study focuses on the big wars but never slights events in between: the little wars, campaigns, punitive expeditions, showings of the flag, protection of American lives and property, and humanitarian missions that help define the corps. Nor does the author neglect the intermittent but never-ending fight for the corps's survival at home where it faces periodic challenges from Army, Navy, Air Force, and on occasion, unfriendly presidents. This third edition brings the popular and accessible history fully up to date. Because the previous edition left off at 1975, new chapters have been added to cover the tumultuous events of the last quarter-century, including Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Bangladesh, Somalia, and Haiti. Other chapters have been revised in light of new scholarship. Edwin Howard Simmons (1921-2007) was a United States Marine Corps Brigadier General. He was a career officer who served in combat during three wars — including landing at Inchon and fighting at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. He was renowned as the official Marine Corps historian, being called "the collective memory of the Marine Corps". His 1974 book The United States Marines: A History became a seminal reference text. This title would have four editions released before his death to account for troop actions into the 21st century as well as to reflect new historical information developed after release of earlier editions. The copy for sale is from the third Edition of 1998. xii + 366pp + 18pp of B&W photographs. Charles H. Waterhouse (1924-2013) was an American painter, illustrator and sculptor renowned for using United States Marine Corps historical themes as the motif for his works. His art spans subjects from Tun Tavern, the birthplace of the U. S. Marines to present day topics. Throughout his career, he created over 500 pieces for the Marine Corps art collection. One of his illustrations was used as front of this dust jacket cover and he drew the maps for actions described in this book. Hardcover has red cloth boards with gold lettering on spine, in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. Jacket protected in plastic cover. Book opens as if never read. Interior is tight, clean and unmarked. No ownership markings, indicates always privately owned. Copyrights 1974, 1976, & 1998. Both book and jacket printed in U.S.A. Stated First Printing, although printline indicates 2nd printing in '98. ISBN: 1-95750-840-2. LCCN: 98-29987. No MSR. U. S. Marine Corps Photographs: Charles Waterhouse (Jacket Illustration & Maps) (illustratore). No Ownership Markings.

Includes A Word to the Reader; Editors and Authors; Acknowledgments; Suggested Reading; Index; and Photography and Art Sources. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white photographs, color photographs and color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "This aims to be the most beautiful and comprehensive word-and-picutre book ever produced about the United States Marine Corps. It was conceived in Virginia, published in Connecticut, printed in Hong Kong, and distributed from California. More than a year of many people's time has gone into researching and writing these essays and locating the historical pictures and producing the new ones. Among the participants who have brought this book to life are two commandants of the Marine Corps. Marines who have fought in World War II and every war since then, and civilians who care deeply about the Corps. The result, we hope, is a book that will be read with great interest, browsed through again and again, and treasured for years and generations to come. The U.S. Marine Corps has defended and fought for our people ever since the Corps was born on 10 November 1775, even before the Continental Congress approved Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. Today, if you are abroad and walk into an American embassy, the first person you are likely to face is a Marine. If you watch on TV as the president of the United States lands on the White House lawn, the pilot of that helicopter is a Marine. And when war threatens, the armed service that lives the motto "First to Fight!" is the United States Marine Corps. The Corps is a relatively small service but it really has fought from the shores of Tripoli to the halls of the Montezumas. And in other places with strange names - Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Chosin, Da Nang - made meaningful because Americans in Marine uniform had died there. As we write these words, our country is at peace. But you need only think of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941; the North Korean attack against the South in 1950: the Cuban missile crisis of 1962; or the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. To protect us from such surprises, all of our armed services are standing by. And one of the best - one that yields to no other - is the Marine Corps. The Marines' greeting is "Semper Fi." They use it all the time. It means Always Faithful, and that is what the Corps is. If this book is faithful to the best of the Marine Corps, it will meet the challenge we set for ourselves." - Edwin Howard Simmons, Editor-in-Chief and J. Robert Moskin, Editor. Malkin, Lori S. (book design) (illustratore).
