Requirements: .ePUB Reader
Overview: The First Leathernecks is an exciting and insightful recounting of the earliest and most formative phases in the history of the United States Marine Corps, including the War of 1812, a period in which the author is a recognized expert. Burzynski has gleaned what little information is available in documents from the time and filled in the blanks with his own extensive research and historical background. What has emerged from those efforts is one of the most thorough and interesting accounts of a pivotal period in American military history. The author’s stirring prose is amplified by beautiful artwork created by noted Marine Corps historian and fine artist Charles Waterhouse.
