DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this riveting insider's chronicle, legendary Marine General "Brute" Krulak submits an unprecedented examination of U.S. Marines—their fights on the battlefield and off, their extraordinary esprit de corps. Deftly blending history with autobiography, action with analysis, and separating fact from fable, General Krulak touches the very essence of the Corps: what it means to be a Marine and the reason behind its consistently outstanding performance and reputation. Krulak also addresses the most basic but challenging question of all about the Corps: how does it manage to survive—even to flourish—despite overwhelming political odds and, as the general writes, ""an extraordinary propensity for shooting itself in the foot?"" To answer this question Krulak examines the foundation on which the Corps is built, a system of intense loyalty to God, to country, and to other Marines. He also takes a close look at Marines in war, offering challenging accounts of their experiences in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. In addition, he describes the Corps's relationship to other services, especially during the unification battles following World War II, and offers new insights into the decision-making process in times of crisis. First published in hardcover in 1984, this book has remained popular ever since with Marines of every rank.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrank Verkest, born in 1917, father of three, grandfather of eight and great grandfather of thirteen, resides in Buckhead Ridge, Florida, just southwest of the city of Okeechobee. Frank is known for his great love of God and family. In 1936, after graduating from High School in Antioch, Illinois, knowing his family had no money for him to pursue an education, he joined the Marine Corps, whose motto was “Join the Marines and get an education.” His last duty in the Marine Corps introduced him to Marcie, thus beginning the “sixty-nine-year love story” of our dad and mom. When we found his handwritten memoirs of his tour of duty in the Marine Corps (1936-1940), we felt this great treasure needed to be bound and preserved for our family and future generations. With gratitude we lovingly dedicate this book and prayer to our father and mother, Frank and Marcie. Joyce, Jerry and Russell. The following is “Dad’s Prayer,” composed by Dad and offered daily for many years. We do thank you, Lord, for the many blessings that you have given us; And we pray that you continue to watch over us and our families with good health and safety; And for our friends and relation that have serious problems, please guide them through their problems. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA U.S. Marine Corps veteran gives a personal account of his twenty-five years of service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in this memoir. From a Gulf War grunt to a full-fledged Marine Major in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Andrew Hesterman saw it all. Radioman offers a highly personal and unfiltered view of the Marine Corps as it transitioned from the post-Vietnam analog Reagan era to the post-9/11 high-tech George W. Bush and Obama years. Radioman begins with Andy as a recruit at boot camp and the ensuing training that leads to formally becoming a Marine. After comm school and the reserves, Andy is called to active duty in 1991 for the Gulf War, where he experiences combat up close in Kuwait. The next personally, professionally, and politically tumultuous decade brings marriage (and divorce), flight school and helicopter missions in Kosovo, the shock of 9/11, another marriage, and children. Andy’s journey culminates as an officer in Iraq, where he directs air support for the Marines in Fallujah. Co-authored by Robert Einaudi, a close friend of Hesterman’s since high school, Radioman provides an honest and vivid military portrait of the Marine Corps and the modern U.S. military seen through the experiences of one Marine. Praise for Radioman “Both gripping and honest, Radioman is also told with a humor and humility that makes for an extremely pleasurable read.” —Scott Anderson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Quiet Americans “Radioman tells a universal story—about war, family, and growing up. Andy Hesterman’s 25 years in the Marines span a huge range of world events and personal experiences. I found myself laughing, rooting for him, and shaking my head at the insanity of it all. A great book!”—Nathaniel Fick, New York Times–bestselling author of One Bullet Away “From a recruit surviving boot camp to a Major flying combat helicopters and controlling F/A-18s in Iraq, Andy Hesterman shares the pride of the Corps and the pain of saying goodbye to your family for yet another deployment. With Radioman, you’ll feel like you’ve put on the Marine cammies and marched alongside Hesty for over two decades of service to our country.” —Dell Epperson, Captain, U.S. Navy (Retired)
